54: Were Grille Stripes an option?

I see that the 54 grille has chrome stripes available. They are called Nasa marks?? Were these optional? My grille doesn't seem to holes for them. Were they just on the larger trucks?

Whiskers. Optional, as mentioned above.
You can buy them new if you want them.

Thanks gents. Since my grille doesn't have the predrilled holes, I'll opt to keep the $120 in my pocket for now!

They do dress up a painted grill nicely IMHO.

Nasa marks...... AKA hash marks. found on delux models (a lot were 6 cly. and had the star in the center of the grill instead of the v8 emblem)

As AX mentioned, they do look good. You should go for it!
