Based on my reading, it seems most popular to do a lower grill block and leave the upper grill open. I intend to do a lower block myself when I get the time. It's important to monitor engine temperatures when performing these mods.
I guess from just browsing the site, looking at all the cars getting full grille blocks, I assumed that I'd just do the same thing. The truck is mostly a winter commuter/miscellaneous hauler for now and regularly sees a 50 mile one-way commute. With only having one grille, I imagine that a 2/3 grille block might be the way to go?
