[kna4977]

1972 Chevy truck looking to replace the outer grille surround. There are so many options to choose from which is the best and most accurate reproduction available?

Originals were anodized aluminum correct? Not chrome?

Yes, the originals are anodized. Just like the side trim. I remember seeing steel chromed outers from LMC. No experience with the piece and have not seen any opinions. Try to avoid LMC except when they are the only one that has what I want.
I am using an nos piece I picked up years ago for my resto on my 72. Have heard good remarks on the pieces from Summit Racing from a few that have done several trucks. Purchased my inner grill from Summit as I was not willing to pay what is wanted for nos. It fit fine IMO. Would have purchased the outer from there as well if I did not have my nos in hand from years ago. Actually have considered selling my nos outer and going that way. Still undecided.
