Is the bumper upside down?

Is that a repo grille ? If so are you happy with the fit?. Thanks

Hey Paul yes a repro grill from Classic Parts. It's a nice reproduction and I'm happy with the fit. I had to harvest the mounting brackets off the original grill otherwise it was very easy to install.

Your truck looks sweet! I think the bumper is right side up, but I like the upside down look better. To me it fits the filler piece better.
