I know this doesn't answer your original questions, but you're torturing us with photos for potential dreaming, leads me to have to share my 2 cents worth.
I can't look at that front end w/o thinking: tube front grille w black blockout just behind, '69 Camaro shaded hidden headlights.
There are so many mid to late '40's cars/trucks, extending into the mid '50's that have the high coffin look in the front of their hoods.
An air inlet there breaks up the big nose, and w the grille blockout below, this inlet IS usable. Taste is usually required to make it look right.
Your truck is a natural: you already have the nice stock chrome piece!!! Open up your TRIfecta of air inlets, turn a fake style into usable reality!
I also see a major front airdam, and the truck down in the weeds; but thats just me!
