 Post subject: Grill for 1980 Chevy Luv
PostPosted: Fri Dec 13, 2002 3:32 pm 
I just bought my 1980 chevy luv a few weeks ago. It was missing a front grill. i ordered a repalcement from JCWhitney and installed it. The grill mounts up fine but there is a 3 inch space from the top of grill to the hood.Does anyone out there have any experience replacing the grill or will I need the original?

thats why it's a big gap.did you have to cut anything for it to fit?jc whitney said you had to modify it.

The grill I ordered was for the 78-80 luv. I called jc whitney they said that It should fit with no modications. Its mount up fine to the original hole but ther is a huge gap.

The LUV grille from Jc whitney.... does it have the bowtie on the front? What did you guys think of it, those that have seen it? Does it look original?

Its kind of hard to judge in the dark, might need another picture in the daytime to say whether it like it or hate it.
