Grilles.. painted, aluminum, or chrome.. which is the best!?

Looks great Alan! For kicks ,I used to put a 66 grill and side emblems on my 65 for a while. It changes the whole character of the front end.

Nice polished aluminum or chrome. Or really just a real nice grill thats better than the one I got.. Nice truck Alan. Nice how you got your local gov. (State?) to change the license plate color to match your truck.

A little Photoshop Work
This was the deal breaker for me. To me for this truck.. which is what mine will look like when done minus the wheels.. the painted grille adds more character and just pops more than the aluminum which blends in.
And I've always loved shiny grilles.. and own a 64 aluminum and 63 aluminum.. both in decent shape.. 64 needs a bit of work.

Before.

After.


but the 65 grille to me is the cleanest out there.

What do you think!?

The white grill looks great on your truck,65fordguy. Imho, both the painted and anodized aluminum grills look better when blacked out like factory.Gives the suspended effect for the center section. What's kinda funny to me is the standard cab painted trim (grill,bumpers,dash bezel etc) is actually sturdier than the custom cab stuff. Oh yeah.... aluminum

I can't vote. I like them all. Each one could look good on different vehicles.
