I just got a brand new front grill for my truck through one of my frriends (he hated my old grill cause it squeaked and was broken and cracked in some places and had the typical wear wear the body and fender gap is) So he ordered one last week and it was $40 + like $30 S&H.......... when I heard about the handeling I said there better not be a scratch on it, so He payed for the actual grill and I paid for the shipping and the grill came in last thurs. and I picked it up yest. after church. They got it from
http://www.carpartswholesale.com/.
Now heres the only problems I had with this grill, (BTW this is for 81-82 grills) is that first the middle clip holder was spread out some from the clip so it wouldn't go in the hole, this was solved buy lining up the holder with the hole and then buy using a long flathead screwdriver, I pushed down and it slid in (with a little minor pushing)
Second, the grill didn't have enough curve in it to correctly just push into the radiator support, this is solved by just pushing in one side's clips then going to the other side and bending the grill a bit and then pushing in the clips, this has not cracked the paint or chrome on my grill.
And last, there's a little overspray under the grill fins on the bottom, a paint run in the top fin and over spray below the pass, headlight. Now you may be asking, under the headlight, there's not paint there.... yeah there is now, the houseing around the lights is black and I geuss the people over there had false info on the color sheme...
But it looks great for what I payed for it. I'll have pics one day and i'm gonna be keeping the old grill and getting a new front bumper, a chrome grill and a halfway chrome bumper don't mix.....
