Re: jc whitney grille?
As far as I know, the only way to get the "bowtie" is to buy a Genuine Chevy grille. They can be had new for about $250. I suspect that aftermarket grilles lack the bowtie because of a trademark/and or licensing issue (my theory anyway).

Re: jc whitney grille?
LMC now has a new grille with the Bowtie if you want it. But, it's not a stock appearance grille. More of a billet look. I'd go with genuine Chevy for about $200 out the door. 1400-0078 is the Chevy part number.
