Re: Radio bezel and glove box door finish
I'd say what 51 3600 did is about as close to right as you can get.
As Joedoe said, the Korean war caused some changes in the trim on Chevy trucks. Mostly chrome or plain painted steel replacing stainless or chrome with painted accents trim.
This is the glove box door off the 49 cab I have and after cleaning it up a bit I'd say that the satin between the polished bars is unpolished stainless. This one most likely will go on the 51 1-1/2 ton.
