Pre-1981 grilles

I recently acquired a 1980 k20 and I really want to change the front grille (its pretty rusty). I was wondering if anyone could post some pictures of their pre-81 grilles with some info on where you got them. I also attached a pic of mine as it is right now. Thanks.

Re: Pre-1981 grilles

Here s a picture of my 74. I think that 73 uses the same one. These seem to be one of the easiest to find around where I live you can easily find one for $30. Most of the later 70's ones seem to break easier.

Re: Pre-1981 grilles

This is my '76 with a original 73-74 chevy grille. Bought it from a member for $55 if i recall correctly. I repainted it, and need to paint the bowtie since a new badge for the bowtie is next to impossible to find. But I love the look...

Wow I really like this grill! Is it possible to remove the GMC badge or is there a plentum under it.
