welcome to the garage Gerard, from over on the wet coast - Chev didn't chrome anything under the hood, so have at it if ya want ... the original engine color woulda been gray, including the pan and top cover, with the bolt-ons, like starter, generator, air cleaner, being black .... if you look thru the gallery you'll prolly find a 40 or close year with a good engine resto picture

Welcome Gerard,

Chrome dress up parts are available for your truck and usually much cheaper than having your own plated. I would clean up and put away your original parts.

If you like the original gray the valve cover decal is available along with nearly every other part on your truck. Have fun.
