1985 grill & fan shroud questions
 
My 85 K30 silverado came with a cheap plastic after-market grill that doesn't even have provisions to mount the parking lamps, is there a high quality billet or tube grill that does? Also is there a source for a fan shroud for a 454 K30? Thanks, Dave

Why not just put an original grille back on your truck? One like this?

I recently picked up a replacement grille off of Rock Auto for my '85, It was about $50 and it's pretty nice. But you would also need to buy the center chrome strip and emblem if you went that route.

3x2GTO send me a PM if you interested in this one. This was put together for someone local, but they never came and picked it up. Since then, I have put marker lights in it and hung it up.

Any 80's big block fan shroud will work if you have the 4 core radiator and top cover.2 or 4 wheel drive are the same.
LMC may have it.

Is that the one LMC sells now?

The pic in post #2 is a GM Authorized Restoration Part. But they don't come with any of the trimmings.
The pic in post #4 is an original grille that was removed from a salvage truck. The only thing I did to this grille, is remove the center molding and cleaned it of the paint/tape. Someone local said they wanted it, but never came and picked it up.

I think my top plate is original, but the radiator 's been replaced with a 3 core? I'll check and see.
