You going to come off that price?

*gmachinz* · 06-25-2018, 12:18 AM

I haven’t put a price on it here but I’ll let it go for $450 shipped.

I have a driver quality grille.

Got sidetracked with work.

Still looking for the 1980 GMC grille.

Thanks,

TKCR has a really nice driver grill posted. These grills are not cheap even with problems-you wont find a “cheap” one unless you happen to stumble upon on yourself. I don’t even offer anything besides restored ones (which started life as clean driver quality) and I can’t even keep them on hand.

I’d suggest hitting up a salvage yard-you might get lucky.

13jraven · 10-20-2018, 11:16 AM

Where is it posted? Could not find it.

*gmachinz* · 10-20-2018, 01:56 PM

Dude....just scroll 4 posts back on this thread.

13jraven · 10-20-2018, 02:11 PM

Dude, you mean the one from 3 1/2 months ago?

Don't tell me you guys are sitting on inventory months on end waiting on the one dude who might want a 38 year old grille for his truck.

Let me guess you guys are like my old neighbor, "I know what I got. They ain't making this stuff anymore. Don't low ball me."

sweetk30 · 10-20-2018, 02:33 PM

yes some guys do this for a living .

yes GMC stuff is way more money as not as much of it as the chevy versions .

and for some reason the aftermarket dosnt like or want to repop the GMC stuff so good luck .

*gmachinz* · 10-20-2018, 03:02 PM

Well judging by your vehicles in your sig line I would think you are aware of what current prices are-I don’t stock or keep “driver quality” because at that rate I prefer to restore them. And yep “I know what I have” applies to A LOT of GMC specific parts-that is partially why you got very little responses except for the one with the pic-and imo its always worth finding out if somebody still has a part you may need since there isnt a follow up post stating “sold” in the thread-it’s worth a shot anyway.

13jraven · 10-24-2018, 03:26 PM

I just assume after 3 months the part would have moved.

If you still have it shoot me a PM and we can work something out.

You are right, GMC parts are a needle in the haystack.

The driver quality grille that I had posted, it sold. A member on here purchased it for $50.

I have a driver's quality chrome grille for $250

Post a picture of your chrome grill when you have time. Thanks

**1774btcrew** · 11-08-2018, 01:43 AM

This is the one I have.

*gmachinz* · 11-08-2018, 02:00 AM

These grills are tuff to find! 1980 is the only year for the chrome version which is the high trim level for 1980 GMC (V22). I have 2 stainless trimmed grills I’ve restored. One is sale pending, the other is available but prolly won’t be for long. It’s a restored grill but is very striking in its appearance-the grill makes or breaks the style of a GMC front end!

Thanks for your reply. I do need the style with the bolt on emblem and stainless strips.
