'69 GMC Grille Question

I'm wondering about the black painted area on this grille:

My 69 doesn't have this and I'm curious if it's because the grille has been changed or would this have been lacking this black from the factory (maybe a cheaper model or something).

No yours is correct the LMC catalog does not show the 69-70 version of the grill just the 67-68 and 71-72

Thanks!

So is it correct that they are painted just around the headlight bezels?

just around the edges, right.
Although, they kinda screwed it all up in there description... the 68 grill was run from 68 - 70.

Re: '69 GMC Grille Question

Andys right the 68 is different from the 67 due to the GMC being removed off the grill and the sdame on 68-70 always forget the 68 in this mix since everything else runs in two year periods so it seems. The 71-72 is diggerent with the addition of the black in the middle the center no longet comes to a point it is kind of like one raos laying on top of another if that makes sence. I will check to see if I have a good shot of the actual grills as mine was originally a 71 and now has a 67 grill on it.

Re: '69 GMC Grille Question

these should be in order...
a 67 grill
a 68 - 70 grill
a 71 - 72 grill
The 69/70, & the 71/72 would have trim around the grill that makes the grill look much bigger.
