There aint none at the LMC outlet. New 68 grilles or REPOPS are a thing that does not exist. You will have to go for a used one.

Re: Where can a guy find

I'd check with the board vendors before I used LMC. Use the link in my sig for a list. As far as LMC, check the Review Board for some people's experience with them. For used your best bet is to subscribe and post a WTB on the parts board here. For info on subscribing click the "support the board" link in my sig.

Re: Where can a guy find

Anyone quoting prices at this time would be guessing.
I just test fit the 1st new reproduction 67-68 Chevy grill to leave the manufacturer
Heres my 1st & 2nd report to them so far

""Hi, Edward
just went out to the shop quickly before having to
leave to open store in town and I quickly installed it
in to a 68 Suburban. Being as how I was by myself I
could not eyeball front edge while tightening bolts
but grille installed quickly and all holes lined up
for bolts, after I tightened all bolts I examined the
front edge and body line was slightly off and low on
passenger side and slightly high on drivers side, this
afternoon I'll bring my help and I believe with one us
making sure that its aligned in the front as bolts are
tightened we'll be good to go as I believe there is
enough play in bolt holes to allow the small
adjustment needed and if not a small elongating of
mounting holes will definitely make it possible but I
don't believe will be necessary.
I still haven't had a chance to check fit of
headlight bezels on installed grille or its grille
opening trim but I will also be doing this so we cover
all bases.
So initially its looking Very Good!!!
My Best Regards
Paul @ GMCPauls """"

2nd Report
***Hi,Edward
The grill was a perfect fit in 68 Suburban once I
had help aligning edges as I tightened the bolts & 67
Chevy truck we installed in yesterday evening was also
a perfect fit so I'll skip installing in a 3rd truck,
headlight bezels attached and fit great also.
I'll check fit of grill oval trim today and its fit
in reproduction front clip we assembled from your
parts later today and give you fitment report on those
later this evening or first thing tomorrow.
So far in my opinion this is one of the best fitting
pieces you've ever made!!!!
My Very Best Regards
Paul @ GMCPauls
******


Once we close today I'll be finishing checking fit on our repo clip & OEM & Aftermarket grill ovals.
It'll be 4-6 weeks before the 1st containers land most likely and after shipping & customs costs are accounted for we'll no wholesale & retail pricing.

not trying to take business away from the board vendors, but shipping can be killer on that kinda stuff.
