You would have to weld the gouge and grind it down..then rechrome it. Cheaper to buy a new one.

Sorry to inform you but that grille is ABS molded plastic.it contains no steel, so welding of any sort is out of the question.. Fill it with bondo and sand the complete grille smooth and repaint to match your truck. If you want chrome go buy a new one they have them on Ebay..
