     When I get to that part on my 74 I will be ordering one of those.  I was afraid I would have to use  my old one.  Great to see the spot for the engine size on the grille, I like that about my 74.

Any chance you can get a 79 silverado grill?

Right now this is all we have with GM licensed stuff, the 73-74 was created as there was no one reproducing them.

Chris, have you actually seen these grilles?  Are they quality units?  I ask because I recently converted my '80 fleetside to the '73/'74 front end using a used original grille.  It'd be nice to have a grille that looks like new.

Ken has one in his hands, and said they were great quality.  That means a lot coming from Ken.

Awesome!!   Since we can't talk my dad into a round tube to match his sons, at least we can get him a new looking one now...

Does anyone make the 89-91 chevy grilles like this with the emblem molded in them? Only ones i can find they mold it without the emblem and you have to get the stick on emblem.

Not unless you find a factory one.  This one is a licensed replica, all the other ones you are finding are not licensed, meaning it cannot have GM emblems on them.

Can you shed some light on the standard versus chrome versions?  I know the standard versions are an argent gray color.  Are the chrome versions ALL chrome?  Or just the chrome "accents"?  I just ask because I noticed these available from a bigger nationally known source,  and this is basically how their description read.  I assume they are the same grilles from the same source,  but I thought I would ask for anyone else wondering too.

BTW,  I will be buying through you when/if the time rolls around.  Thanks!

All of the leading edges on this grille are chromed, the rest is just silver.  They're really nice and worth the extra bit of coin IMO.

Thanks Bake!  That's what I assumed and was hoping!  Now I really want to swap to this grille!

The outer perimeter face of the grille is chrome as picture whereas the other is just painted.
