The color of the bumper should be silver as I recall.
I think the grill inserts on the white noses should be flat black. Not sure about the silver noses. If the nose was painted white, so was the front bumper unless it was equipped with the chrome bumper option or a CST.

Thanks for all the info. It really does seem to be an enigma. A lot of what I’ve seen seems like the trucks with white tops had white noses. But only consistently if the A pillars were painted white also. It seems kind of rare to even find a picture of a truck with a silver grill. There’s so many options it seems no choice is wrong haha.
