^^^^^ What he said.

You can have one chromed but it will be expensive. I had one done and FedEx destroyed in with a forklift in their warehouse.

Probably be cheaper in the end to send yours out for plating. Watts did a limited pre sold run of repro's in 2006 for $600 each and the last new Chrome shell was on here in 2012 and sold for $1250 plus shipping.  Better investment than gold.

I paid $730.00 and shipping to have my radiator shell plated back in 2003, or 2004 and the shell I'd sent was very much nicer than a brand new one. I fought with FedEx for almost six months over that claim as it was run over with a forklift in their dock facility and we settled at #1250.00 so I could get another done. So far, I haven't.

yea, ok, good luck. maybe Tidewater Mack circa 1993

Ain't that the truth.  Should have loaded up with all sorts of goodies back then.  Buy now and save!

My Tidewater inventory sheet dated Jan 1, 1993 shows a chrome B shell at $285.00.  Damn!

Top and bottom radiator insulators at $3.50 each.....

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

I was there several times in the mid to late 1980's and B series parts were easy to get. Bob was always cordial to talk with. I was in the Navy then. Hindsight is always 20/20.
