You can powdercoat over chrome but the place will typically blast them and, depending on the quality of the chrome, may end up taking some of the chrome off at which point they'll need to be chemically stripped. I found this out on some SMA parts I had done...and stripping ain't cheap. It amounts to almost the price of chroming them...

Since they're on the side of the truck they won't be seeing a lot of rocks, bugs, etc. so I would try scuffing them well and using etching primer with some DupliColor Universal Black paint. If they eventually do peel you're only out $20 and some time and you could have them powdercoated then.
