Through aggressive searching and being consistent I finally landed an NOS Chrome 73-74 GMC Grille. They are few and far between, i see the 79 you seek come up way more frequently. I even have one hanging on my wall just for decoration in the garage. The GMC stuff is really cool, much harder to find and has a mystique about it because of the standalone designs they used in badging and grilles. If you want the cheap and easy route, buy a Ford Mustang. Everybody and their brother has or had one and parts are plentiful. What you have is unique and special so stop with that easy street Chevy talk. Be proud of your GMC and continue with your quest for the correct artwork.
Is 80 the same as 79?
Hi again, Big Chip:Another avenue of search: there are still junkyards out there that are family owned with difficult to find websites. They are typically in the rural areas and have the older model vehicles. I found a great one in my neck of the woods by googling salvage yards near me...then by asking these guys whom else they could suggest had the old trucks, they led me through a series of phone calls till I found a junkyard out in the sticks that had a cache of 1960s and 1970s trucks... this was a 1-1/2 hour drive for me but it was worth it as I found a couple of parts for my 76 C-20. (I asked about your grille but they did not have any 1979 GMC grilles)...they did have a couple of 1960s and early 1980s GMCs but not many...maybe 3 or 4...maybe 2 70s GMC, but the grilles were missing. They had about 10 1970s Chevy trucks. So maybe you can find a junkyard like this outside of the city where you live.Regards,HenryHi Henry,I did find a junkyard that had the tailgate with the proper stainless trim on it about 2 hours from my house(now I just have to find a dually tailgate with the lights on it). They had a lot of Chevy stuff and some good grilles I believe. Is your 76 a Chevy or GMC? I am going to be going down there maybe this week to pick up rear bumper brackets and can take some pictures.
