Where to buy a Brush Guard? Grill guard? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Russ72C10 · 01-09-2005, 03:10 AM

I've got an '84 K20 4x4... and have looked high and low for a brush guard or grill guard for it. I found a couple at JCWhitney, but that's it. I'd think with as many of these trucks on the road, accessories wouldn't be THAT tough to find. Does anyone happen to know of a place that still sells them? I'm not in a position to buy one at the moment, but I will definitely be getting one in the coming months.

Thanks in advance!

Russ

I think they sell one in the LMC catalog?
It is a bolt together piece and was like $150 if I recall correctly. I think you could buy it as just a brush gaurd with out the end pieces that cover your lights for a little cheaper.

77gmcjoe · 01-09-2005, 11:39 AM

Yeah, mine came from LMC.

Russ72C10 · 01-09-2005, 01:55 PM

I'll take a look-see at LMC.... thanks for the info!

gmcjoe, you don't happen to have any larger pictures of your truck that'd show the grill guard, do ya? If so could you post one? I'd appreciate it!

They are always listed on eBay too.

8t5Silverado · 01-10-2005, 10:12 AM

I know of a place that is a little cheaper...let me look for it. PM me if you don't hear from me.

8t5Silverado · 01-10-2005, 11:47 PM

Found it:

http://www.e-michaels.us/KnockdownChevy.htm

I haven't bought from them, so I can't recommend them. I had a hard time finding one...Wildcat Flash seems to be one of the remaining manufacturers. Let me know if you do get one.

Destructo · 01-11-2005, 12:08 AM

i'll give ya one if ya come and get it lol, its actually for a 73-80 model truck/bumper, but I modified it to fit my 85.

Anyway, theres plenty of them out there, do you have any shops locally that sell truck accessories?

Prerunner1982 · 01-11-2005, 10:46 AM

or you could get a military unit and modify it how you please..

yfs200p · 01-11-2005, 11:42 PM

TTT I'm interested, Post any pics you have of trucks with brush guards like this style.
Thanks

useRc10 · 01-11-2005, 11:50 PM

i just put one from this guy off ebay on my truck...he has the grill guard and the grill guard/headlight pieces and cheaper than any place i could find...so far i am happy with it

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33650

yfs200p · 01-11-2005, 11:57 PM

yeah looks like a good deal, the one in JCWhitney looks similar, for $100. The one in JCW doesnt have the headlight guards though. looks pretty slick though, i'd like to see some with some Hellas or PIAA's or something like that on there.

useRc10 · 01-12-2005, 12:01 AM

this guy has the one without the headlight guards for $82 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...945960636&rd=1

I plan to get some Hella lookalikes when i get some more money...has mounting tab for them on the guard

yfs200p · 01-12-2005, 12:11 AM

sweet deal, i might pick one up... id like to see how they look on a few trucks first though. I might just get the hellas and mount them right on my bumper without the guard.

8t5Silverado · 01-12-2005, 05:00 PM

I've got some new KC Slimlites in black that I'd like to mount on one of these guards.

I had seen the ebay guard, but since it listed so many models, I figured something was up because the same guard can't fit all of those models...

useRc10 · 01-12-2005, 06:47 PM

8t5silverado- when you win the auction, you tell him what you have and he ships the right one...its not all the same guard

Russ72C10 · 01-13-2005, 12:01 AM

Wow, thanks for all the responses! How you guys find some of this stuff is beyond me. There's a couple of truck accessory shops around here. I may give them a call to see what they know as a start. But I bet ordering online is still cheaper. Although, a buddy of mine claims he knows the guys that can bend tubing and weld up a home-made guard. Either way, I will definitely post pictures with what I end up getting!

yfs200p · 01-13-2005, 03:25 PM

Found one on Cardomain, hood is slightly dented, but anyway...
