Install GMC letters or not?

[chevydog66]

I bought my 72 about 4 months ago and have done a lot of serious work on the thing. About $2500 I've put into a truck I paid $500 for. I just got the hood and cowl painted last weekend. The truck used to have the original GMC hood letters on it, but the hood was junk so I picked up a good one and the local yard and painted it. It has no holes for the GMC letters which I have already purchased. Should I drill holes in the hood and put in the new GMC letters or leave it the smooth look? I think I will have to remove the hood latch stud in order to do so. Anyone ever done this? I am not sure if I want to drill the holes or not. Everyone's input is welcome. I will try to post a pic tomorrow. Thanks!!
