    I'm collecting parts to get started on my 51 GMC and I'm hoping to find a repop chrome grill and surround. I believe the 4 bar grill is the same as the pickup and that's easy to find. The problem is that I can't find the piece that goes around it. Anyone have any idea where I could find it? If all else fails I'll just paint the one I've got but IMO the chrome looks better.

    Why not chrome the one you have?

    With the prices I've seen for rechroming, you better be sitting down when you get the quote... i'm sure others know far more about this than I do, but whenever I've asked about it, I continually hear "Paul's Chrome".

    Last year I had COE GMC grill, and front and rear car bumpers rechromed for $5000. The other estimate on the same work was $7600.
