i think that the idea of putting a bowtie over the hole is a cool idea. it would also be easy to get some chrome/aluminum strips to put over all of the grill slats, if done right it would not look bad. that would be easy. you could also find a gauge/clock/gauge cluster/switchpod that you like and cut more to make it fit. if it were me i would find a donor truck and cut its teeth out and have someone fab them onto the old grill. but that is more work than some of the other suggestions. good luck, say hello to the ocean for me, and the warm weather while you are at it.
