I've got a set that have rust speckles on them. I'll dig them out and get some pictures for you. These are the 1973 factory covers that someone chrome plated in the past.

Not sure they exist. I've searched for them in the past came up empty.
I believe those where only available in late 1973 1974. I've only seen them on 1974 engines, never chrome, only painted gold.

The only chromed ones were the ones somebody took and had chromed. They were from 73 and 74 and were all painted. I had a pair I was going to put on my 75 Hurst Olds but apparently, I sold them since I am unable to find them. So I will stay with the correct ones.

Does buyer want the block letters from the factory or like aftermarket ones with the 80s baseball Cleveland Indians font?

You can't say Cleveland Indians anymore. Only the Kansas City Cheats err Chiefs are allowed.

Liked the KC reply, though I tend to consider the game was lost due to opportunities provided to the opponent, who made the best of them.
Overall a great game though. All involved can be proud. Next year..... go birds!

Oh..valve covers..never realized they were only on 73-74.. My Salon has them.. I'm not enough of a gearhead to follow all the underhood stuff..that's what my brother does for me..lol .. May find a spare pair lying around somewhere..

If it was only that one game. The NFL is so fixed. So so many bad calls to put KC in that game. All year. The last questionable call was irrelevant. KC would have kicked that field goal regardless. Eagles shouldn't have allowed themselves to be in that position. The first non call on KC on that hit out of bounds proves the point. Good game but KC shouldn't even have been there.

These are a little rougher than I remembered. If this is what your looking for you might be better off purchasing a set of factory painted ones in good shape and having them chrome plated. I believe that's what the boat company did with these.

I'm sorry, I need to clarify, mine are not chrome, just bare paint ready to paint or be chromed by you. My mis-reading of the title.
