Front grill question on a 70-72 gmc?

1st of: "Forgive Me Forum Members....For I Have Sinned".

This question I believe was answered VERY THOROUGHLY by a Member about 6 Months ago.
Unfortunatly, my Computer with all my Folders & Truck stuff, had DIED.
I am on a Borrowed Computer that has "just the basics", so I ask again....

I have a 72 GMC Short/Fleet.
The Grill is the one with the "Painted Black" insert.
I like the look of the Polished Grill (on I believe the 70/71 GMC) WITHOUT the painted insert.

If I order the earlier "All Chrome" Grill....

1) Will it fit my 72 WITHOUT MODIFICATION?

2) If NOT, then exactley WHAT Mods, need to be done to get it to fit?

My current Grill has a couple of small dents (Pencil eraser size), and I was thinking if it was too much trouble, then I'd have the Body Shop remove the Grill and I'd take some "Zip Strip" to it,
at home and then some 000 or 0000 Steel Wool and bring it BACK to the Body Shop.

What would some of YPOU do in this instance?

Money is not a big problem, as I'm receiving a $ettlement after 4 long years,
but if I can acheive the look I want, with what I ALREADY HAVE, then that would be $300.00
I could spend elsewhere on it.

Thoughts/Comments are appreciated!
