The '30-31 headlights, tail lights and radiator shells, for cars, were stainless steel.
All truck headlight buckets, tail light bodies and radiator shells were made of magnetic steel dipped in gloss black enamel. The rims on the lights were the same as cars for that year (plated or stainless -- not painted).
Ford did not paint over stainless steel with black paint to put it on a truck.
The 130-A De Luxe Delivery had lights and radiator shell like cars.
