Won't they turn brown when you start spreading the manure?

Looks really good!

I think Vern was alluding to the fact that we refer to the bucktoothed grills of the 51/52 trucks as manure spreaders....all in good fun.

What did it cost to have them chromed? My dad has a 52 and is contemplating the same thing
