The truck pictured is a 46 chevy 1/2 ton with a gmc 270 engine. Mine is a 46 also, with the turbo hanging on it.

They are 3mm (1/8") 304 grade stainless. Have since made one for a 46 Ford as well.

Awesome. Saves on chroming cost too and no rusting problems. Did you send them out to be polished?

Marcus. Yes ,I get the polishing done by a metalfinisher. It is a trade skill which seems simple, but in fact, takes much practise and patience. Tried it myself but my results were woefull compared to his.
