Does anybody know if an 85 Chevy van grille will fit a 81-87 truck...??

Is yours a silverado? The factory style grilles are cheap enough...

No, it's a Scottsdale... why's that?

Factory style grills aren't cheap here, which makes sense I suppose given the distance from the States. Oddly though, most mechanical and maintenance stuff is cheap.

Your truck is an 82 right? Egg crate grille?

Yeah, that's the one. Just replaced the front panel (core support) with a double headlamp (stacked) version, but prefer the later style 85 - 87 grille, have already got the 85 - 87 headlight surrounds. Didn't get the grille off the truck in the junkyard as it was a GMC and want to keep mine a Chevy.
