Tri-plus billet grill install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Getting ready to install the complete steel/billet grill assembly and noticed it did not come with instructions or hardware of any type. Does anyone know if it was supposed to? It seems pretty straightforward. Just a matter of grinding the old rivets off the end brackets and installing them on the new grill. My concern is the rivets that show above and below the headlights. I was curious if these grills were supposed to come with any type of hardware. Thanks for any help

I called Wes at ClassicHeartbeat, which is where I bought it over a year ago. He said they should come with hardware, but mine did not. Don't really need pics, its just a matter of grinding off the old rivets, and re-mounting the side brackets on the new grill frame. I will also have to make up an extension for the latch safety catch. Wes said he usally fabs up his own because the one that comes with the grill is pretty cheesy. He also said he goes to the hardware store and gets stainless screws for the side brackets.
