That '57 hood is a crown jewel to those fridge trucks IMO.
Your chrome grill brings nice contrast & 'pop' to the white exterior color.
I want to get my '63 F100 grill and headlamp bezels chromed but no one in Eastern Canada does show quality chrome (or quality chrome as I am told) so Ontario is the closest Province to get chrome work done.
If I may ask, what 'price estimate' might I expect to pay for grill & headlamp chrome work similar to your pieces?
Your truck looks great, best of luck in the finish stages - Pete

Sorry, yes I do. Almost on the road, just doing upholstery and small items now. Still need inspection and appraisal for insurance. Photos will follow when I am less busy. If you want you can check my flickr link below as it will show you what I've uploaded.

They really are. The grill alone was $1100.00 CAD in 2021 Then the original handles, mercury side emblems, and V-8 badge were another $1100.00 CAD.

That's pretty much exactly what I was told: 'expect to pay upwards of $1,500 for my grill and headlamp eyebrows to be chromed.'
Thank you for that update - Pete
I love the look of your truck, very nice...
