My brother-in-law has an original GM OEM grille he bought several years ago. Still on a truck he is parting out. Really nice shape. Will ask him what he needs out of it and will try and post a pic. May be a day or two before I can talk to him. I work first shift, he works second.

Troy just out of curiousity where are you located. Might cost a bit to ship a grille. I have a stock GMC grille from my 75 Jimmy but it would be good for a daily not for show by any means. How does $15 sound? I can get pics of it in a day or so, since it is out at my parents house.

Troy, Here are the pics of my brother-in-law's grill. Currently on a '76 2wd he is parting out. No breaks, cracks, broken mount tabs at all. I am posting the pic as he does not have a digital camera. His board name is "old wagon", you can PM him but he works second shift so may not be until tomorrow before he gets it. Will let you and he work out price and details. It is a really nice clean grill. He bought it new from GM dealor some time ago.

Another pic, stainless trim around the grill has some dings but the grill is solid and un-broken anywhere.

Jeff, I looked at your site. Nice truck but just a heads up.....if I recall the 80 models use a specific grille. I may be wrong but I think they are a bit different than the 79's as well as the 81's. Might ask around about it though before you buy something you cannot use. I will have some pics of my grille up by tomorrow hopefully.
Brad

Jeff, just wanted to let you know that the 78-80 grille is the same as long as the head lights aren't square.

Thanks Guys, Troy is right the grille is the same for 79 and 80 as long as it does not have the square headlights. I think any year will really fit with some modifications, mainly around the hood latch release area.
