Not sure what you are looking for, but I believe this Chevy piece (you will see as correct repro for various mid-60s models) is very close to the factory open element 442 air cleaner as used on 4 speed cars circa 66-67:

Main difference is the bent fitting on the base, which can be removed and the hole plugged. It will accept the 442 pie plate and retainer.

Problem with re-chroming is I'm not sure its possible to re-create the "satin-chrome" factory appearance. I've seen nice re-chrome jobs, but they always seem to be "shiney-chrome". Alternative is finding a super-nice original piece, but not sure those come up for sale too often, and when they do, $$$.

Couple years back I was in the market for an original air cleaner assembly (base and lid) for my stick '67. I called Year One and was told it was no longer available, rather just the lid (assembly was still in the catalog at the time...not sure it is online any longer). Could be they offer it again, though could not find it just now.
