'68s had a contrasting color on the front of the grille and silver anodized aluminum trim rings and bezels. Also leading edge trim on the front of the hood and fenders.
On my '68 C/10 Stepside the trim is white on a 516 Orange body color. [Creamsicle effect]. A light metallic blue '68 Suburban, I got parts off,
had a silver grille. I've seen black trucks with white grille, Yellow trucks with black grille. Most often the contrast color was white, but people get creative, and I guess, you could order [within certain limits] your custom color combo from the dealer. Or they were customized in the aftermarket.
