The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Painting grille bars with chrome paint

I think the Chevrolet Advance-Design truck grills were painted (standard) or chromed 1947-1950.

I think all the Chevrolet Advance Design truck grills were painted from 1951-1953. (Korean War/Conflict - chrome/chromium "went to war"?)

I think the 1954/55 Chevrolet Advance-Design grilles were painted (standard) in 1954/55st; and, chromed grilles were optional in those years. There were different color combinations on the 1954 vs 1955 Advance-Design truck grills.

What year are you interested-in? maybe 1950?
