78 grill trim?
Well I have searched and cant find an answer to my question. I recently aquired a 78 cheyene that originally came with a chrome grille. Currently it has a tube grill and I want to go back to stock. I bought a 78 grill and I went to the wrecking yard and obtained the factory mounting brackets but while I was there I found a 79 grill that still had the horizontal trim installed. I bought the trim thinking it might be correct for the 78 grill. Am I right? Also what would be the correct colors for the grill? Thanks

The horizontal trim is correct for a 78. The grille colors (stock) were light silver, dark charcoal, and chromed.

Re: 78 grill trim?
So would the entire grill be in the plastic chrome or just the edges?

yeah if its a chrome grille, the entire plastic part would be chrome. none of them were multi-colored on the plastic part. I think right now if you want to find new OE grille with the bowtie, the only color available is the dark charcoal. I've seen them on ebay and I think classic parts of america has a few.

The only grille that had chromed plastic was the '80, and it looked different. Otherwise they would be silver or charcoal, but they look good black with trim too.

Re: 78 grill trim?
Thanks for the info and man what a nice looking truck/grill you have there. So paint it silver and add the aluminum horizontal bars and I should be back to stock. Thanks!
