If you are wanting to be authentic, the 1952 GMC trucks had eliminated most of the chrome plating and stainless dash and were painted due to shortages during the Korean war. As a result, the bumper/s were painted black along with the front splash apron. The running board aprons were also black instead of body color as on the Chevy. The grill, parking light surrounds, hood badges and hub caps were painted an off white color with red in-fill in the recessed ares of the hub caps and hood badges.The dash had no stainless trim and was painted the interior color. The cab had the pin stripe around the belt line but the wheels were not striped like the Chevy. I did a lot of research on my '52 before painting it so think it's a good representation of what it would have looked like originally. 1952 GMC album
