Is there a want?

I have an 86 GMC C3500. I'm converting to a 91 GMC front-end. Is there anyone looking for OEM GMC front-end parts, or do people just go new? I'm not asking a value or what it's worth, just asking if parts like this are in need?

Re: Is there a want?

That grill is worth money as oem is not the best or reproducing them much .

All you need is core support out and the lower metal grill filler panel is different also . The fenders and hood are the same .

And i prefer oem parts my self . . I would grab them but 3k miles apart kis the deal .

Yes
That stuff is harder to find in Pull a Stuff now days.
You could take it to a swap-meet or Craig list it.
I think it would go Fast.

Yeah, I managed to score a pretty good deal on a core support and the filler panel. I need to do some very minor corrosion repair on the support and then get it painted up. I got the grille as well, but it has 1 broken rail so I I'll order one up. Thank you for the info!

Absolutely!! Any OE square body parts are going for a premium at the moment. Try finding----in stock--- those parts or any parts for that matter. If you have it and it is in good condition, you can sell it

Well I'll give it a shot on here first. I know shipping these items (grilles) usually doesn't go well, but someone closer may want them. Thanks all....

Re: Is there a want?

For sure don't toss it. Give me a holler if it doesn't sell. I'm close enough to come and get it and I would be happy to hang on to it until somebody needs it. Don't actually need it myself, but I've got space on the shop walls ; )
