I've seen maybe a few on trucks. Usually in pictures. I've also seen a few at swap meets, but most were $150 or so.

I believe that I've also seen this option in one of the option brochures that I have.

Is is like this?:



If it is, yes they're hard to find. I got this one last year from one of the members of the board for free, I am trying to get a quote to have it rechromed. I hope it doesn't cost too much to have mine done. It's a pretty straight piece and if it turns out to be to too expensive to have it replated I'll clean it up and paint it.

Do you have any idea of the cost? $200, $300? I have seen NOS grill guard sale on uPay for $300+ I don't want to go nuts on it.

I just want an idea of what I am looking at to have mine replated. I realize prices vary in different parts of the country. I am just looking for a ballpark figure.

There one item that just as rare, the stainless windshield trim, no one reproduces that either. Ilya will add panel truck seats and rear doors, both of these are very rare items too.

Ilya, 51panelman, probably will be back on later today and tell you about the Five Star cab options. He's more tuned into the '51-52 model years, I am more focused on the '48-50 model years, the nicer looking design I think the Five Star package included the ss windshield trim, the door panels with door handles, dual door locks, dual wipers and special hood trim. This trim package was only offered for the '51-52 model year. The grill guard, I think, was an option for all five years of the Bonus Built run, 1948-52.

This shows all the options but sadly the bumper guard wasn't one of them. I had 3 5 star cabs and none of them had it. I wonder if a Mercury version was ever produced?

Those probably come apart somehow. I would say a ball park figure for those three pieces would be $75-$90 each piece.
You might even push $100 each.
I had an estimate on a 50 ford speaker cover on a car for $85
