Re: Questions on 72 GMC grille and chrome

I've had the same type issues with my aftermarket grill/ eyebrows. My truck went together in late 2017, and I thought that I would try to refine my grill appearance after the build. Of course I've never got back to my grill issue. I like the idea of blacking out the gap, on my truck you see bronze paint thru the gap. My headlight bezels fitment is terrible the attaching hardware lines up very poorly. I'm not sure what the correct gap measurement is between the hood and top grill bar, but mine looks way to wide (back of hood gap seems correct). It's like the entire grill needs to lean backward more at the top by the hood. If you try to do that, the fender bolt holes don't match. Maybe summer of 2020 will be the time to tackle this again. Unfortunately, I have to deal with a leaking rear main seal on a freshly rebuilt engine first.
If you enlarge the attached pictures you can see my gap issues. Second photo shows hood gap somewhat.
