Fix and rechrome or just replace? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi guys.
I just got a picture as I sit here overseas from my dad of my truck
of which he has been painting for me for that last year.

I look at everything in this picture, one HUGE thing just sticks out and screams at me.
If you cant see what Im talking about, look at the grille frame. Its just doesnt have the lustre that it probably did in 1971...
My question to you peeps is
Do you think it would be worth it to clean up the little dents and scratches and have it rechromed?
Or is it worth the the $270 to buy a new, repoped one?

Just thought I would ask!
Thanks
Jeryd
