OEM Grille Find

[LTZ C20]

So I was poking around Craigslist again today. Found a OEM 1980 grille. It's chrome and gray, has the bow tie, looks great, brand new in box. He's asking 200. Think I'm gonna get it.

Bring a year newer I know it will fit properly. I don't have to restore it either. Might just have a pro clear coat it for protection, is this a good idea?

Here it is.

In my area, a grille like this is rare and unique. I like it ALOT.

     If it is worth it to you, then that is all that matters right ?

Absolutely!!! I talked to the guy. I offered his whole 200 plus 20 extra if he would take it off Craigslist and hold it for me till next weekend when I get paid. He said no problem and even started sending me pics of other parts he was gonna throw in for free. Said he will never use them and doesn't have the truck anymore. Got brand new front side marker housing with trim ring, new K5 Blazer fender badges, new stainless top front trim for above grille, 89 center console cup holder tray and the clear cluster guard for between the cluster and cluster bezel.

Prob gonna get this guy a Micky D's gift card or something too. I'm stoked for the score but I want him to know I appreciate his donation.

     WOW, that is a good deal for you, a gift card would show some class on your part for sure.

So I've been soo busy I forgot to post this. I picked up that new 80 grille. Along with the K5 badges, side markers and center console tray. Thing is just as nice as it looks in the pic.
