73-80 Grills on Ebay. Any good? Opinions?
I am replacing the aging and fragile grill on my '79 Bonanz... Ebay has some inexpensive ones but I'm not sure if they're any good. Two concerns I have:
1. It says in the description that it DOES NOT have the emblem provisions on the grill. I'm not sure what a Chevy truck would look like without the bowtie. Can I mod the grill to hold the emblem? If you have any experience with this let me know. 2. What is the quality of this product? Will it last? Thank you in advance... The link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT |

Have you or anyone you know purchased this grill on eBay? The lack of responses is making me second guess this grill altogether.

If it does not have provisions for an emblem, its a reproduction piece. I have had some that fit, and some that don't fit.
If it were me, I would check in our Vendor Marketplace and see if our forum vendors have what you need.
