Repop 72 Chrome Steel Grille Surround and Insert
This are Counterpart pieces. I picked them up from The Truck Shop’s booth at the Pate Swap Meet 2 years ago at a discounted price, knowing that I wouldn’t use them until the end of the build. Well, so much time had passed I started to get anxious about possible damage from them being boxed up and in a non climate controlled storage, I decided to open them up and check them out. In spite of the box being chewed up by an ambitious mouse, I was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the parts. Of course I haven’t fitted them to the truck yet, so who knows how that will go... but I am optimistic based on what I see here.

I hope it fits as good as it looks. Is the center grill chrome plastic?

x2, have heard of aftermarket grilles that don't fit quite right. Hope this is a good one, it sure looks great!
