thanks buddy... as for the 79 bezels, within the 1st week my grandpa had her he put on the magus and dropped the rear a little. when he saw the 79's roll out the next year he ordered the 79 grille from GM so his would look like the new ones! and i imagine he liked the looks better too. thats how the trucks always looked buddy why go back now
