Ever use offshore 89-91 grille/nose parts?
« on: July 27, 2009, 06:28:25 pm »
I'm looking for an 89-91 nose assembly (headlights, bezels, grille, rad support) and wondered if anybody used the non-OEM parts I see for sale. What's the fit and finish like? I read about one horror story on here about a rad support that wasn't exactly a tight fit.

EDIT: after I wrote this I looked in the Store and I see that Chris sells rad supports for a good price. I'm sure he wouldn't sell a crap part so I would feel confident buying one of those. The other parts though like the grille and headlight bezels, anybody have experience buying non-OEM ones?

I have used a few aftermarket pieces on some and I know people that have used them.  I have Goodmark 89-91 grille, bezels, headlights etc for sale also (same as the core support)

I have used the aftermarket ones and will be using them on my Mutt. No complaints here. The 81-87 grille moldings aftermarket are junk though!

Thanks guys. Good info. I liked the no-emblem GMC grille I saw on Ebay. Smooth look. I don't care for the non-OEM Chevy one though.

Capt, how come you don't have those parts on your site (except the rad support)? If you can PM me with prices for everything you have I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I just haven't added them yet, some stuff I don't add until I put my hands on them or someone says they want it.

I can add them if you like.

Sure, whichever you like. I'd just like a package price for everything I listed. Either PM me, reply here or throw it all up on the site. It's all good either way.
