Need Pics of 72 GMC Grille

[Baby John]

OK, so I'm studying pictures to try to figure out the resto mod on Tyler's truck. I'm torn with this grille we have. He has a 72 GMC so we have this chrome trim "wrap around" the grille. I really don't like it. We bought a good used (driver quality) grille for it and I was planning on deleting the trim. I found out that I can't do this because there'd be a gap at the top between the hood and the grill.

The best looking trucks that I've seen don't have this trim. I'm guessing those are older trucks before they added this trim piece. So, since it looks like we're stuck with this I'm looking for some pictures of nice looking trucks with this trim in place. Can they be made to look good?

Here's a picture of his truck now with the old bent grille and the black painted trim piece at the top. We'll be replacing the trim piece at the top. Oh, and disregard the photoshop red thing.
