Before and after grille
 
4 Attachment(s)
I spent all winter collecting parts that i needed to get my front facelift done. The inner grille trim is hard to find as no one repops it. But,i ended up with some good nos scores on ebay. I needed brackets,grille,bowtie,trim molding. All together I was probably into a couple hundred. It's the dark charcol argent that was used on some models back then.The bezels and grille are the same color even though the grille looks black. Not sure if I'll keep the USA plate. Just looking for a different look. Here's a couple before and after.

love it with the stock grille.

I can't wait to ditch my billet grille for the stocker.

Grille looks great.

Hated billet grilles because my fat fingers didn't fit between to open the hood with a 74 grille release..

I agree with this. I actually like it both ways on this truck but I do like the factory grilles better. Sweet truck.
