Anyone know what is the original color of the inside edges of the grill and headlight trim? Looks like a charcoal gray metalliac color. My is all faded and would like to paint it like original. Thanks
Looks like they came in two colors. I always thought it was a dark gray color, but it does look black. Mine has always been faded out so much. Here are some pics I found online. One is a super low mileage garaged unrestored truck that was recently for sale.

There was a light grey that came on some trucks. But I can confirm mine are black and are original. The front clip i bought had them in black as well. It's a bit worn here but you can definitely tell its solid black.
I've never seen one with black headlight "doors". I've owned two 81's, two 82's, and an 85 and all had gray headlight doors. This brochure from 1981 says the FreeWheeling trucks got the black headlight doors, which implies none of the others did.
