Re: 67 68 chevy grills

One reason they are hard to find is that they haven't been reproduced until not long ago...

Re: 67 68 chevy grills

We have had the new 67-68 Chevy grilles for around a here now, you'll find them here on our web site
http://www.gmcpauls.com/trim.htm
Part#3612392
When the new grilles came out 2 companies released them at almost the same time, ours is the complete 67-68 grill without trim made by Tri-Plus, the other companies grille who I have not been able to identify who is making it yet as all the boxes they come in are plain or marked with the distributors logo instead of manufacturers logo these grilles do not have the flat metal portion thats attached to the bottom of the oval openings on them. So watch out when buying a 67-68 Chevy grille as its not easy to remove these pieces off a original and reinstall on the new grill.
I test fit the first Tri-Plus grille produced before production run was approved that they were a correct fit and I'm happy to say it was a smooth install unbolted the original and bolted in the new reproduction in about 30 minutes with everything algining perfectly.
