Once I get it all back together I'll post a couple pictures. Think it's really gonna help dress up the 72 grill.

Personally, I'd avoid going all black... from far away it won't even look like you have a grill insert mounted.. it'll look like a black hole and lose its "bumpsideness". Here's an idea though.... Mask off the leading edges with fine line tape (3M recommended) and keep them silver and then shoot the returns back.

EGGSELLENT!!! That is EXACTLY WHAT I'M SHOOTING FOR! THANK YOU I believe removing my tag on the front will make it look better.
Since I see you can photoshop - could I ask you to put a set of wide whitewalls on my truck if I email you a photo? Want to see how they'd look with the wire wheelcovers I have. I would really appreciate it.

HiddenForFortyYears - could I ask you to photoshop a set of wide whitewalls onto my truck? Here's a photo with the wheelcovers I want to use - but would like to see how it looks with wide whites on it. Sure would appreciate it.
I'd like to see it with something about double the width of what's on it now.

I tried to pull in the photo in a larger size but for some reason it keeps shrinking.

The original photo is large and sharp. These other one keep coming in small and grainy. (not what I want)
Send me the original photos and I will try again.

Phil, I like the grille backing in the first photo's. I don't care for the red in the last ones. I put that mesh or screen behind many a grille for customers back in the day, So it looks like it belongs there to me. Good job.
JC Whitney and others used to sell a tube bar grille for your truck. It look to me better than the stock one. More like the 67 grille. Wonder if ya can still get them?
