In looking at photos of other '46 pickups, I notice that some trucks have a grille the looks like mine. That means that the space between the top and bottom grille is painted the same as the body while the rest of the grille is brilliant chrome. Other trucks show the entire grille assembly to be chrome with no stripe of body color between the top and bottom portions of the grille. Can anyone explain why there seem to be two different styles of grilles for the same year? Just curious.
Thanks!

My original (which I believe was original) had primer over it and was chrome underneath. A new chrome repo's is all chrome and most are not correct or fit well and carries a large price tag. I'm unsure if I will paint body color or leave chrome. I will paint the lettering and lines with red One Shot. I kinda like the all chrome look however I need to finish up and get on the road first. Thanks to all the help and experience I've received here. Have fun and good luck
