Check out my new grille!

A fellow board member here pointed me to this grille on Ebay and I couldn't pass it up. An original GM Factory Chrome grille, left over stock from a dealership in Wisconsin (i think).

I got it in today, but haven't taken pics yet. Here is the auction pic.

Best part? $40 bucks plus 15$ for shipping.

In Classic Industries, that's a 350 dollar grille...... its 250 or something in Chevy Duty.

I'll take pics ASAP with it in and my new tint job

It's replacing the stock grill, which is the plain-jane painted Argent Silver one. To dress up the old one, I painted it "chrome" (although we all know how crappy rattlecan chrome is ) and i put a blue emblem i made in place of the cheesy tin emblem.

I don't have many good pictures of the old one, but here's a couple. They don't do justice to how crappy it is/was. A couple of the thin pieces are busted out and the paint was faded. So i spray painted it the chrome, but i did a lousy job with the rattlecan, and well, it still is missing those little pieces in obvious places

My only real complaint to this grille is the yellow emblem. Its better than the tin striped sticker and the blue piece i have now, but it doesn't match the rest of the truck.

Maybe after I eventually get Ol' Red painted Emerald Green with a Silver flake it will look in place

I also gotta take some pics of my tint job. But that's due in another thread
