Quoted:
I was going through some all GI parts kits today and found a gas tube that is totally chrome plated. It sure is pretty, but it is the only one I have seen. Has anyone else ever noticed one? |

First time I hear about a chrome plated GT.
I was under the impression that were SS as per TDP.. and only recently some companies started nitriding them. |

Never heard of a chromed gas tube.
My understanding is that original gas tubes were made from AISI 4130 steel. Due to corrosion issues the gas tube material was changed to stainless steel in the 1966 to 1967 time frame. |
