Thanks for the responses.
I guess my take is just that I am practical. I am 43 and hope to own the truck for the rest of my life. I love it. But I also realize that life happens and if the financial poo hit the fan, I could sell the truck if need be and was worried that something obvious not stock would hurt its value.
Maybe since the motor is not original, the rear end is not original, then maybe I should get over it and just paint the grill all green as I like.
I am new here so I am not sure I can post photos yet, but will surely post before shots soon and after shots as available.
