The headlight bezels are in the correct position.

The chrome trim outside the headlight bezels is switched left/right. The curved corner goes on the bottom and the sharp corned goes on the top. Lol.

It's also missing a windshield mounted mirror, or maybe that's just out of frame.

The bezels are correct. I agree on the chrome trim, the high beams also look like they are glowing a bit, but that might be reflection off the bumper.

Yep, you got it… the grill trim pieces are on the wrong side. Upside down.

Last I saw the bid on that one was only $17,500 on Bring A Trailer. I think it ends today.

We used to put those on in my area after Fender Set.

The operator would take a little awl and bend out the end clip from the upper and lower grille chrome to help start the eyebrow at the top and bottom, then push it inboard and home on the fender. IIRC early ones had two threaded fasteners on the backside and then later we went to two little push on clips.

The little lady on the LH side was the same one that was supposed to put the big battery in the military jobs. She couldn't do it (couldn't reach) so I ended up putting the battery in on every twelfth job. I don't know why we never moved her from that job and replaced her with somebody that could do it.

How do you keep those little suckers on there? I lost one on a previous truck that I had a few years ago. I have a piece of tape holding one of the ones on my '84 now. Maybe they stay on better upside down.

I'm sure a few of you have a Haynes repair manual for your truck.
Anyone ever notice the yellow stepside c10 in the picture has the side grill trim on upside down a well?
