Re: Having Trouble Getting Good 69-70 GM NOS Outer Grills???

If there`s a bar code present anywhere it`s not N.O.S. They didn`t have that back then.Anything else is a re-make made in Taiwan packaged for GM Restoration Parts.GM sold out of major trim parts over a decade ago when parts depleated and inventories went on computers.Golden State and other early GM Truck vendors and others bought it up.
Are these grilles from individuals who sat on them since the`80s?I now hear how parts reserves were largely rejected line parts.I think that`s a myth.Either that or somehow GM managed to sell off the good stuff first and saved the worst for last.Because all the parts I ever bought from GM were everbit as good as any part that came off the line.
