question 1941 Chev Blitz?

[Cyclone303]

Hello All,

 

I have purchased a new dash for my 1941 Chev blitz and just have a question about it. The dashes in them were ones out of civilian cars and the bezels on them were chrome, did the military leave them chrome or paint them?

Painted, I'm sure. If not off the line, then certainly at the first repaint.

 

I'm sure you have already joined the excellent Maple Leaf Up forum where all this is gone over in great detail ? Lots of people on there and here, but it is particularly good for anything of Canadian original such as this.

Hi Gordon,

 

I will have to join that forum.

 

Thanks Chris

The dash in both my Chevys are originally chromed but the they seem to have been painted.
