A good friend and I are cleaning parts for his 261 that came from a '62 Fleetside. When we cleaned up the road draft tube, it seemed to have some kind of plating on it. Can anyone tell me if these tubes were plated or just painted? If they were plated, what was used? Was there material inside the "can" part? This one is empty. Our best guess is something along the lines of steel wool. Any help would be much apprieciated.
