1979 GMC V22 chromed grille? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Fellas,
I recently acquired a 1979 GMC Royal Sierra K15 short wide. Unfortunately somebody replaced the grille with a tube grille a number of years ago and the SPID is telling me it came with the V22 chromed grille option. I am having a heck of a time finding what exactly that looked like. I am finding everything from argent with the polished horizontal bars, black with the polished horizontal bars, and I found that there was in fact a chromed plastic with the polished horizontal bars. I’m just trying to figure out which one I’m supposed to be looking for.
Thanks
Dan

Mr Google shows this for 1978, not sure it helps.

I’ve seen that one and saw it had the same grille option but I think it may have been replaced. I am thinking it was the chromed plastic one.

It has the chrome strips in the center. Otherwise, it would look like the last pic which does not have the chrome strips.
