I have had the itch to build another 55-56 GMC but finding a clean short bed with all the grill intact is hard and or very expensive

Heres a chrome front end shot for you of my 55 long bed..
Thanks for the pic, I just got all my chrome redone 'steel only' not the diecast items. After getting quotes of 4-5k for the rear & complete front bumper with all the steel ad-ons I managed to negotiate a cash price of 2.5k I didn't realise chrome work was so expensive? I was expecting $1500 tops, I guess its something I wouldn't wan't to be doing too often, not sure what chrome is worth in the US?
