I've owned several of these trucks and never found a stainless piece as you are refering to. I have found other parts that came both in stainless or plain steel. Like the strips on the side of the hood, the crank hole cover and the narrow trim pieces on the grill, oh and the dash trim and maybe more. So I'm sure anything is possible with these trucks in which parts varied so much through the war years. I had one with stamped tin outside door handles and a military truck with a GIANT metal glove box.
