Good thing about the '37 truck grill is that all trucks from '37 use the same grill and outer trim, so expand you search for 1 tons and bigger. The main grill is a stamped metal, maybe a mix of stainless steel and regular steel, not real sure, it's been years since I have had my hands on an original. The outer trim that goes around the grill and clips to the painted area is stainless steel. The only cast piece is the hood ornament, and it is a pot metal type material with chrome platting. The grills were for sure shinny, so chrome plated would not be out of the question. And as Alvin pointed out, the missing piece is for the engine crank handle to pass through. Not real sure how it was held on, mine never had one. No cage nuts held the grill in place. On the back of the grill surround or core support, there is a number of small metal tabs you bend over the grill to hold it. Most of mine were broke off so it was hard to figure out how it was held in place. The outer stainless trim is held on with small " Z " shaped clips you can purchase. The outer pieces go on first, then the grill is put in from radiator side. If there was any damage to the front end and metal work has been done, expect a fight getting the grill in!
