$1250 isn’t too bad if they throw in the rest of the truck.

Man.........

So I’m the guy who bought the very last 1989~91 Blazer/Suburban V22 grille new from GM. It’s in my ‘77 monster truck build. I can only imagine what that baby is worth. I think I still have the box that it came in. I know I still have the receipt.

The only reason I’m rooting for the guy making cars out of cardboard and Great Stuff is because he’s rocking the fur coat.

So I must be the guy with the very last GMC version of it :) I felt bad destroying the chrome Chevy grille I had but I needed something to experiment with. Trust as I was doing it I thought about the $ I was throwing out the window for nothing more than something I will probably just hang on the wall in the garage. Parts is parts...

Found a grille for a 1980. It’s close enough for now and I’ll continue my search for the one I want. Its missing a small chunk but the price was right and it sure beats the tube grille!

The price was lowered by $155 on that grille.  It’s a bargain now.
