Those were chrome, Jeff.  You can have them done at Mr Gs in Oklahoma City.  A full set is pretty costly, but they look good.  You can get a heater delete, kinda scarce, as a lot of them were cut up for the low line, dealer installed heaters.  They would drill a big hole in the middle of it, and install a push pull, twist knob/cable control, much like those in early 60s Ford trucks.  I have one of those with the cable, as well as the delete plate I am using on mine.  If you can find a car from th deep south that had everything delete, you can get the firewall block off panels too.  I had an extra one of the top ones, but I gave it to Glen Henderson, the bottom plate is harder to find, only had one of those. It wouldnt be hard to make one with a panel flanger, as it is a simple part.
