Re: Grille suggestions?
Factory grille would look nice and the black around the lights is good too.

Re: Grille suggestions?
search some designs of perforated metal sheets.... saw this, wouldnt be bad if you flip it 90 degrees and have the cut outs go long ways head light to head light....

I like the black headlight buckets, and my favorite grille is the factory '73/'74 grille in argent.

Re: Grille suggestions?
The correct answer for a round eye truck is always 73/74 grille if you ask me.

Re: Grille suggestions?
Why not go with what the General intended it to be ?.. In my opinion (key word "opinion") the 73-74 grille displays too much of that cheesy 70's plastic. The 79 grillle with the stainless chrome trim adds a little wow factor and takes away some of the big chunk of plastic look.
