Custom 77-80 GMC grill - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My stock grill was starting to look pretty weathered. It was all there and crack free, but it really needed to be taken out the elements and restored. My dad had the idea of buying one of these generic Chevy grills without the logo to put in the truck until we restored the original. To make it look right, we fitted a GMC logo into the center.

I still like the stock grill better, but I thought the new one turned out pretty well ? I think it will look good until we can restore the original.

Before: This was 2 years ago, before the Texas sun destroyed my paint. The grill is still mostly silver here, now it is more yellow.

After: Texas sun killed my paint. New grill.

How does it look ?
