LMC Grills

[crawdad]

I guess I'm going to have to buy a replacement grill for my truck since I can't seem to find a good used one anywhere. I was looking at the tubular steel replacement grills in the LMC catalog and was wondering if they have a way of fastening the blinker light assembly on them? Does anyone know if they have a provision for attaching blinkers? Thanks.

I just pulled the aftermarket grille off my truck and the PO was able to put blinkers in there cause the tubes are actually c channels in which bolts can slide into whatever place you want so you attach your light blibker and then use a nut and washer to hold it in place believe it or not there are blinkers behind this grille even tho its an 82 truck ( they werent hooked up to anything tho)

What do you think looks best, square tube or round tube?

personally i pulled off this square tube grille and put back the stock one cause i like stock best although i think the 85/86 grille better than the 81/82 ones tho
i dont know about the round tube grille i assume they work the same with the square channel pieces but i dont know and i think the round tubes look better than the square ones

Yea, I like the stock one better myself. Tried to find a used one, but that was a no go. Priced a stock one from LMC and by the time you added in all of the trim pieces and such, I think it came to something over $300.00.

look on the parts board here alot of guys sell them alot cheaper complete... alot of other guys go to the junk yard regularly and will pick you up one if youd like
If you need new light bezels i have em im not going to use from my old 1986 they are aftermarket but look pretty nice
