Re: 1969 - 1970 Grill Insert & Shell - NOS

Decided to save you the search time in case you're interested in the outer grille info.

The horizontal lines of an OEM factory installed Chevrolet 69-70 outer grille extend almost all the way to the headlight trim rings (which would be black). All replacement outer grilles from GM or aftermarket companies have lines that stop well short of the headlight trim rings. Also, when seeing one already installed on a truck, if you see pop rivets, (you can see the silver pop rivets on both the red and green trucks in the above post), it's a replacement grille. Many of the old original outer grilles have had their black paint fade and you can see the black smooth faced rivets still in place (see photo below).
