Like my new gril? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Over the weekend I swapped out my broken grill for a '73, along with the headlight bezels. I'm apparently missing two grill brackets that mount roughly a 1/3 of the way across each side, but it seems to be solid enough till I can find them.

I'm thinking about painting the new grill satin black with a red/silver bowtie/350, painting the wheels gloss black, the top satin black, and using dark gray vinyl to fill in the side trim. Figure I'll go with vinyl, so I can switch the color out if I choose to later. Thought about going with black on the side, but afraid it will look to much like a police vehicle...
