I never have this kind of luck. Last week when I scored the quads at the junk yard I removed a very nice chrome OEM grille. It wasn't perfect but was really nice. I talked myself out of it at the time saying I am not a chrome guy and I have a nice grille already. Well all week I stewed on that grille and how I should have at least bought it to have, even if I never got around to using it. Then I thought, it must be gone by now. All the grilles at Trout's are usually **** or gone. They never last long. I took my time and removed this grille nicely, no tearing or anything. Someone had to have bought it. So this morning I ran out there crossing my fingers the truck was still there and maybe, just maybe the grille was still there. Holy **** not only was the truck still there, someone had stored the grille in the cab when they moved it out to the chevy section of the yard. I bought it on the spot! Could not believe no one had snagged it yet.
I recently decided that the plan is to sand all the silver and lower red sections so I can get it ready to be silver or dark gray all the way from the sides down (still debating colors). It's going to be two-tone with the red on top. I plan to cut the rust from the fenders, seal the metal then cover everything with flares. Should look killer. With this in mind the black grille started to look out of place. I am not a chrome guy at all but I also let vehicles be what they want to be so chrome started making sense. Getting ready for quads and a tiny bit of paint work. Just need to replace the bulbs on the quads...only one works.
Didn't get to the axle this weekend. I overbooked myself.

Here's a quick mock-up of the new center caps I scored at the Syracuse Nationals yesterday.
