pic request: 71/72 chrome inner grill
I was driving my truck Friday night and hit an owl. So i need a new inner grill. Looking for pics and opinions of the chrome inner grill for a 71/72 truck. I am talking about a factory style egg crate grill and not one of the billet ones. For reference my truck is 72 and dark blue and white two tone.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!
LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: pic request: 71/72 chrome inner grill
My local truck shop (20 mins up the road) claims they sell them 9 to 1 chrome to silver for the last 5 years....claims they never had a single issue. Tempted to try one. Just can't make my mind up. Not sure if it would look gaudy. Or just right... opinions?
