anyone tried new GMC grille? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

has anyone tried a new Gmc grille from Brothers or LMC? how is the fit and is it worth the money? I would sure hate to spend $850 dollars for all the pieces and not have it fit.

I've often wondered this myself.

I bought one from classic truck parts this past summer. Fit was decent. I think issues was caused by my repop fender on the passenger side more than anything. They do arrive with black paint that has been stenciled on. I opened the package when it arrived and called to complain. The paint had been rubbed off by the box. They gave me a credit and I removed the rest of the paint with thinner. Looked better in my opinion anyway.

I also have a grill I bought before this one that is used if anyone is interested. No pics right now though.

I bought my GMC grill for my 72 last year from Classic Parts of America, used to be Chevy Duty. It fit pretty good. I was happy with it for $399, I think. Chrome is holding up and I am happy.

I have a GMC bumper on my GMC. It's rounded on the top inside for the turn signal lights.

Nope, I have one on mine. Didn't know any better at the time that I ordered it (I refer to this era of my life as my pre-67-72chevytrucks.com days), and I don't think it makes that much of a difference anyway.

On a side note, has anybody seen a painted repop GMC grill? I don't think they make them, but not sure.

Are Brother`s and LMC grilles made by someone different?I assumed everyone was selling the same grille.

`67s used the Chevy bumper.68-72s had a dip for parking lights.They didn`t reproduce the GMC ones for years after the Chevys came out.

That grill looks beautiful!

those 2 pics look to me like GMC bumpers.

does anyone have new argent silver grilles?

**thelonerife** · 01-11-2010, 10:36 PM

67-68s had chevy bumpers I think.

Baby John · 01-13-2010, 10:09 AM

Dang, I must have a chevy bumper on mine because ours doesn't have the dip in them either. Oh well, I guess I'll take a look at it and try to determine whether or not it's worth swapping out for a new one.
