Name Dat Grill
 

What year grill does this look like? I want to do my LWB just like it. I think it's clean and simple. Which bezel would you guys go with GREY or CHROME?

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

I think this is a '87 without the bowtie.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

Yeah, I thought 86-87 had this front end, or maybe it's 81-87

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

if your talking about the truck in your sig i would say gray. I think the chrome ones would only look good on darker colors and if you go with that grill the gray will match it better and the chrome will look out of place IMO.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

looks just like my 86 w/out bowtie

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

my 1986 c-10 had that grill this is waht i did to it

Probably one of the overseas made replacement grills. Check in LMC for it.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

one more thing the grill is most likely for the lowest of classes of the trucks on my truck nothing was power nothing special about it. The grill emblem was on it but it was a sticker that y it looks like that.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

the aftermarket often doesnt have the chevy logo as they dont pay for the rights.

Like someone already stated, its a cheapy after mrkt, but i do agree that it looks clean. i prefer to show off the bowtie ; ) silly chevy pride i guess haha

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

man that truck is ka-LEAN.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

Well my current grill is GMC. It looks better than a broken chevy grill, but the truck is not a GMC. LMC sell the Repo for $60. Thats the one I'll go with along with the grey bezels as mine are cracked and the wrong color. This should give me a stock, clean looking I'm looking for. I wonder what problems I'll run into mounting the turn/parking lights?

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

na u shouldnt sent for a 1986 grill like in my 1986 is the same spot as urs in the gmc. just u may break the clips off the gmc grill unscrewing the turn signal light bezels but that no big deal cause u got another grill.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

That is the 85-87 single headlamp grille. The trucks with the dual headlamps had body color and chrome inserts, and a raised area for the bowtie. As stated, it looks to be an aftermarket copy.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

:drama: :but: 85-87 single headlamp grille

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

85-87 dual headlight grille, it is a repop part that is why it is missing the stuff

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

Yeah LMC says its the single headlight grill, but it looks like it works for dual as well.It's gonna work for me to.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

The grilles are interchangeable, just styled differently. Of course, you would have to use the correct headlight bezel according to which headlamp setup you have. The 81-82 and 83-84 dual headlamp grilles have the center moldings extended through the headlamp bezels, the 85-87 do not.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

You sure thats for a single headlight? I thought that since the single HL had a physically bigger bulb that the upper grill portion was bigger than the lower portion. That way the center of the grill mated to the center of the bezel.
Not %100 but pretty sure this is the case.
I would agree that it is an aftermarket grill.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

I picked up a grill just like that with the bowtie off an 88 Blazer.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

Looks like an 85 and up grill

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

My 85 Silverado had the same grille, (with a bowtie).

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

The center grilles will interchange; you just have to use the correct corresponding headlamp bezels. If you look at the single headlamp bezels, they are a lot smaller around the headlamp than the dual headlamp bezels are (like on the truck above).

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

Here's mine...

I wonder where his (the red truck above) turn signals are located?

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

Might not have turn signals at all? All I can think of is modifying an H4 low beam headlight to have a yellow bulb in the corner of it if thats even possible without messing up the light pattern. I think you could also use the small rectangle yellow marker lights used on trailers behind the grill but I don't see any in the pic.

Re: Name Dat Grill
 

its an aftermarket grille, thats why there are no provisions for a bowtie. even the lower line trucks got a grille with a bowtie (or GMC logo) in them, and none from the factory were just decals.
