Is this a squarebody grille guard? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

There's a guy selling this grille guard locally and says it was on his '82 a long time ago. Can anyone verify that it will fit ? I haven't seen any grille guards for '81-'87 where the lower part wraps under the bumper.

First of all, which square body? There would be two different applications. I think 80-86 Ford sounds right. Either 73-80 or 81-91 would be straight across, like the truck.

I mounted an '84 application snow plow on a '71. It fit right up, but I had to move it forward a couple inches due to the slight "Peak" in the 67-72 body

Was searching threads about brush guards and stumbled across this one. This looks like mine, it will fit a squarebody, a picture is on page 3 of my build thread.

The frames on the Ford's are way wider so it would be easy to see if you had truck around my gpa was going to put one of my old ones on his f250 and there was like 8in difference
