My '71 Custom/10 (K10) had a blacked out grill but was otherwise stock when I bought it in '82 and I've seen other "egg crate" grills painted black.
So I was wondering if this was ever an option or trim feature offered from the factory or dealers or it was just an owner customizing thing.

For the record I think it looks good on some trucks and not so much on others.
Does anyone have any history on this?
