Are any of them good reproductions or are they lighter weight or anything like that?
A good re-chrome would cost more than the re-pop grille. Chrome is very expensive, these days. However, it would be the original metal and undoubtedly a lot better quality material in it. What are your plans for the truck? If you want a good clean show truck, then a re-chrome job would be the best choice. If you want a fair looking driver, then consider the re-pop part. Do not let the original get away from you, it is worth money.
