What is a GMC grill worth...approximately - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Woz05* · 10-10-2007, 08:02 AM

I have a GMC grill that I'm getting rid of and have someone interested in buying it, but I honestly don't know what to ask for it.
It has a lot of the chrome plating still on it, there is some surface rust around the headlight areas though, and some along the bottom of the grill.
There are no rust holes in it or dents

I see you guys talk about them sometimes on here saying how they are tough to find or that the repro ones are crappy, and I've seen a bunch in far worse condition than mine, So any suggestions of what I should ask for this are greatly appreciated.

I included a picture but its not close up enough to show to great of detail

And what about the Hood letters too, I don't know what to ask for those either. The "prospective buyer" wants them too.

If the rust on the front isn`t pitted then it`s prolly good to go w/o rechroming.I`ve seen rust from between the bezels and it cleans up.
I paid $100 for one from a board member last year and it`s excellent.I thought that was a great price.If it needs any chrome work that shows at all,it needs rechromed.That costs alot of money and is basically cost prohibitive.So,most sell for driver quality prices.I`ve seen alot of money asked for excellent grilles.I don`t know if they ever got it,though.

Thanks guys. The letters are very nice, but the grill probably does have some pitting, when I go pull it out of storage this weekend ill look at it more closely
