I saw one at a car show and it looked like aluminum.

You can do that to steel you know.
My opinion is they were not even an option back them. For Chevies I think the little stainless piece that goes in the windshield gasket was the first "brite" stuff on the windshields but I will leave it to the guys with the books to tell us for sure. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 | Aftermarket aluminum windshield frames were indeed made for the 39-46 chevy trucks. I have a new one in the original box from
Automotive Parts out of Kansas City, Kansas with a shipping date of 1985. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 338 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 338 | Achipmunk - I thought of that or even having one polished and them plated. I have a search saved in the ebay for windshield frame hoping one will come up.
I would like to either get one or have mine chromed.
Rusty46 - Very cool. Sounds like you might be keeping safe to use yourself. Let me know if it comes up for sale.
