I'm looking for a Ranchero UPPER LEFT Corner piece in Stainless. These Corner pieces were produced in Chrome plated Steel and Stainless. I have a Right Side in Stainless, need the Left.
IF necessary, I'll buy a Left and a Right to get a Left.
Hoping the Forum will come through once again, or lead me to someone that has this piece.
Thanks
John
I've attached a photo of a Left in Chrome


I'll pay a $50.00 Finders Fee to the person that connects me to a seller that has this piece (in Stainless Steel, not Chrome) , and that I make the purchase from this seller.

I walked through a bunch of cars today.  I remembered to check the Rancheros.  There was at least five of them and they all had the chromed corners...no stainless.

Gary, the stainless is the exception, I readily stipulate that, but I only need one! Many many thanks for looking. I really do appreciate your interest.

P.S..........where did you come across five Rancheros?

Not only 5 Rancheros, but in the dead of winter........... in Michigan............ on a Wednesday!!
John and I were discussing the posibility of the ss corners being from '58, and we're also wondering if '59s were the same....anybody know that?
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

A hoarder acquaintance that I bump into from time to time has 50-60 cars and a few pickups.  Only a couple are NOT FOMOCOs mostly '55-'65.  He likes '57 Fairlanes as well as others.  I had a box of '57 parts that needed a new home so this gave me an excuse to go visiting.  It was pretty cold so it was a quick walk around.  A couple of the Rancheros are '58s.  The next time I'm there, I'll ask for permission to take and post pictures but a drone photo would be more dramatic.  His place is in flatland, farm county and you can see the cars from more than two miles.

I believe the bed trim is the same for all three years.  Might be the 59s were the source for the stainless corners?
