Gmc grille or chevy grille?

I have a 64 gmc. I have the gmc grille and I nice chevy grille. I can't decide which one to use. I think I like the lighter look of the chevy but i kind of feel like since its a gmc truck it deserves the gmc grille. Any opinions?

I vote for the GMC grill. I just don't see as many old GMC trucks as I do Chevy's that bumps up the cool factor.

Re: Gmc grille or chevy grille?

Before I obtained my truck, I was determined to have a GMC grille no matter which year or which brand truck I got. I really liked it from an early age. Had I purchased a 63 Chevy however, I might have left the stock grille in place as it is my favorite of the 60-66 Chevys.

Re: Gmc grille or chevy grille?

GMC. I just finished putting a GMC in my '64 Chevy. If you go the 4 headlight route, this relay harness is reasonably priced and works well.
