A chrome front end is very rare in a 370. I spent several years looking for chrome for mine. And then I found the grille at one place and the bumper at another. And I never have found the bar that holds the series badge. I used one from a 450. I can't resist chrome on 50's trucks. Yours looks like it was kept in a shed between harvests.
Ken, yes it apparently it was in a shed Couldn't figure why the park brake was so noisy and loose, rubber accessories in floor to master res. was held in by dirt, res. access cover was rusted in place, apparently the hydraulic brakes were not used for at least the last 10 years or so, no need to do much stopping between harvest and elevator in North Dakota. Not much evidence of grease in being used.
Need to get 400 series front axle for P-30 spindles.

Some of the black primer on the hood is starting to rust, would need to repaint those areas. Working on running gear first, got new MC. Replacing rear axle with D-80 with disc brakes, same bolt pattern. Brownie.
