Where can I buy a billet grille like this?

Hi guys! Just bought a 78 K10

I'm looking for a billet grille, but what I would call a 'coarse' billet. (with only ~8 horizontal lines)

Or would this be called a tube grille?

Example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...4#ht_902wt_708

Looking forward to spending some time here,

Thanks!
Jared

That is a round tube grille available from lmc as well as other retailers and available at accessory shops in every city.

Are you sure LMC has it? I've been to there website literally over 5 times and have not seen this grille there.

Even typing in google "78 chevy round tube grille" yields surprising little results....

Well, a little update. Just found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/73-80-GMC-C-...4512f2&vxp=mtr

Cheap. Just hope it bolts up OK.

Can't believe these are so hard to find these days...must have gone out of style.

Thanks for the help

The tube grilles went out of style as soon as the billet ones hit the scene.

Lol, the truck in that eBay ad was a buddy of mines, he built that thing from scratch, I wondered were it ended up.
