'69-'70 Grille Experts Check In,... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looks good to me. I know there is some controversy about the ends of the center, next to the headlight doors. On some, it is black; on others, it's like yours and mine. I have seen posts that say the later grilles (aftermarket or NOS replacement) had those ends painted. On some, the distance between the outer ends of the parking lights seems to be less. It may be that the black painted portion is what makes it seem so. At any rate, there are some subtle differences that show up.

As for my grille, it's the original one and it's like the one you painted.
