^ I agree! I paid special attention to that area in my 61 and 63. When they were repainted I told them not to paint the core support. When I got them home I did the core support in semi gloss black and then the white surround.
Repainted the grille white and hand painted the Chevrolet letters gloss black.
Made the front end really jump out at you. Little attention to the details really make a big difference. If the grain truck was mine I would get some polished headed bumper bolts and paint the end of the frame horns black and find some period correct tow hooks and put on the front. The rest of it looks like it would do with a good rub out and wax job.
