Fordgery, when I looked at it, I pulled the file onto my computer and opened it up with my photo program so that I could zoom up on it better. I could swear that I can see red horizontal lines in the middle of each bar. Oh by the way I like your truck, something about trucks painted white. regards

I know this is an old post but I figure I'd revive it again because I think I might have an interesting picture.
I bought this grill a few weeks ago for my son's F-1 project. As far as I can tell it looks original.

According to Standard Catalog of American Light-duty Trucks by James T. Lenzke:
"Prototype trucks, seen in many factory photos, had a body-color grille/headlamp mounting panel, while early production trucks originally had Tucson tan finish there. Argent silver later replaced Tucson tan and the later trucks also had Argent silver finish grille bars with red strips."
