I have a 57 Canadian GMC and I am sure there is a panel covering the hood latch area on mine. it is all apart right now but I think I have a pic of that on a thumb drive. I will check and get back to you. pretty sure it tied the grille into the panel over the latch.
yup, the rad support is for sure a chevy item on mine but the panel below the grille, the one that ties the lower area of the front fenders together, is a one off and not like a chevy panel. maybe to clear those big chrome lumps on the front bumper, I dunno. not available aftermarket anyway. mine is toast and was "worked on" by the farmer who owned it and is also rusted pretty badly. I am guessing at the measurements and what it looks like as I fab a new one, when time permits, haha.
