Yeah I suppose you're right on that. Once it's slammed they would look a little more, "understandable".

Yep, most of us usually go strongly toward one grille or another. I like the 73-76. That's what I swap to. I like the bumper guards on there too. Right now my main truck has a 73 grille with a 78 bumper with guards on it. I blacked out the center. The front now reminds me of Bumble Bee's face (from the Transformer's movies). I'll get a pic up later.

Have you guys looked into LMC's billet grille bars for the 75-77 grilles? They would look good on your trucks.
