The reason why I was leaning towards chromed my bumper was because I want to use as much as original truck.
And the quote was a phone quote but still way up in the hill for me to reach for a bumper

As you probably know, in 1952, the bumpers would not have been chromed. " . . . I want to use as much as original truck. " Paint your bumpers and drive it as an original truck.

You can blast or sand the chrome replacement bumper and it will hold paint fine (epoxy prime it).
