87 grille on a 95 MM

Reckon you're referring to this thread about stripping the black paint off a chrome-underneath 2nd-gen Mighty Max grille:

AFAIK the 2nd-gen Ram 50 grille was unique to the Ram 50 and never chromed anywhere. That said, a couple years ago I did once see some vendor offer a 2nd-gen Ram 50 grille with a chromed center eggcrate (just the middle part that juts out a bit), seemed like a neat way to dress up appearance, but I haven't seen one like that anywhere since then, neither for sale nor mounted on any actual truck.

That or another one. I don't recall the pictures.

Regarding the Ram 50 grille, a chrome accented grille was available for the Ram 50, probably as part of a trim package that included chrome bumpers, and corner and tail lights with chrome edges. I have them on my '88.


The grille I have definitely wasn't fully chromed. Only the top and bottom portions were plated and then painted to emphasize the full width trim lines. As you can see the paint is weathered and chipped in places on the top portion.


If any Ram 50 grilles were fully plated, it would have to be after Dec '87 when mine was built. But finding one to test will be a challenge since they're so rare.
