What did my '73 grille originally look like?

Interesting...I'm not sure if my truck was 2 tone from the factory or not. It did come with all the other chrome trim on everything else though, it does seem like a "Cheyenne Super" should have been chrome...

Is the factory chome grille plastic? Or dare I even ask...can a painted/plastic grille be chromed?

Also, does anybody know if the bowtie emblem stayed the same until at least 1979 or later? I think I'm going to try and have some decals made for both the '73 and '79.
