It'll be hard to find a clean or NOS grille like that, you'd probably have to get an aftermarket one.

Post by: Stewart G Griffin on August 15, 2009, 12:11:13 pm: i ,too, am bummed in that i've always felt GMC trim/styling was (was is the key word) better than chevy. (not so much currently as both stink in the styling dept.)

But gmc stuff just isn't as popular as chevy.

You might try J.C. Whitney as they may have a cheap knockoff.

Post by: daniellegoodman on August 17, 2009, 04:30:45 pm: Thanks Gordon! ;D can't wait for this grille! I knew someone on here could help me out, just had to get a good picture. Was looking through
http://www.73-87.com. A lot of the special editions from GMC had this grille on it from 76 to 79. I wonder why no one reproduces it today. So glad to get one though! Thanks again!

Stewart - I'll be replacing the GMC with a bowtie once I clean up the grille I'm buying from got2haul. Just wish I didn't have to, can't figure out why GMC got all the good looks.

Post by: Stewart G Griffin on September 07, 2009, 11:33:18 am: So, where did you end up getting the grill?

2) GMC AND pontiac, and for that matter ALL the other gm divisions (with the possible exception of cadillac) ALL had better styling than chevy, even though i'm a chevy person first.

Steward,
I'd have to say that got2haul sold him one.

Post by: daniellegoodman on September 08, 2009, 07:53:15 pm: yup got it from Got2Haul.

Thanks again Gordon, bringing it to my body guy tomorrow, he knows how to modify it to fit.

;D

Post by: got2haul on September 08, 2009, 08:47:27 pm: Glad to help. Did you wind up repainting the grille? Sure would like to see "before" and "after" pictures.
