The grilles can be had in good used condition . I dont think the aftermarket makes GMC grilles .

I did not know that about the thicker glass. I would assume that is a good thing. I have one question about your reply. I was looking @ 77-80 door panels and see different handles. What would I need to do to get them to work for me?

I have a set of cherry '81 doors with power that are going on the 81 C10. The doors that are currently on the C10 will come off and the guts will come out and go into some '86 blazer doors I have and go on the '76 K15. I think I need the 77-80 door panels for this one. (please correct me if I'm wrong on the fit). Is that confusing enough?

I found 77-80 dash panels @ brothers called blac/silver or balck/chrome. I am assuming that is the style I am after. What makes a instrument panel a 73-76 or 77-80?

Sorry about all the questions. You would think a body style that ran for 18 years would be easier than this.

Thanks
