Original '72 Grille Insert Question
 

Did the original '71/ '72 inner grilles have the top mounting tabs (the angled pieces that mount to the outer shell) painted black?

I got a repop (to replace the billet insert that the PO put on my truck) and the whole thing is silver- after installing it the tabs are more visible than what I've seen around. Gonna paint it black anyway but just wondering how the GM inner grilles came...

Mine is NOS and is all silver......;)

OK. I saw this on the parts board and it made me wonder if the '71/ '72 was the same (3rd and 4th pics)
