joe231 · 12-15-2009, 08:43 PM

Such a tease!!!!

Are you going to offer one without the bowtie?

74 C-30 · 12-15-2009, 08:45 PM

Conundrum · 12-15-2009, 09:24 PM

Awesome!

This.

Any ETA on when these will be available?

jb4short · 12-15-2009, 10:12 PM

I haven't mastered "Multi-Quote" yet....

no Bowtie grille? no plans. It would require a completely new tool to do.

Color options will be as I understand the originals....argent and chrome/argent only. Took me a while to find a current useable paint code for these...LOL

GMC grilles are less likely right now just because of volume....even these Chevy's by being done in two year increments are tough.

one last thing- if someone in the VA area wants to "Test fit" this one PM me. It would have to be installed at our place but you could keep the grille.

If you click the

button on all the posts you want to quote, then click the "quote" button it will give you multi-quote feature.

Thanks for persuing this grill. It makes me want to convert my 77...

Regardless, it looks great. And I'd love to have one on my truck.

joe231 · 12-16-2009, 12:02 AM

J_PEPIN87 · 12-16-2009, 12:08 AM

Oh very nice, I'll definitely swap my billet grille for one of this.

Driveway Dreams · 12-16-2009, 12:11 AM

Since I sent you an original grill, you should send me one of these...I'll test it on my 73.

ECU PIRATE · 12-17-2009, 04:36 PM

If I had my 82' running I would make the drive up to Jersey. Should be on the road in about a month though if not sooner

I did, but I sold it pretty cheap...I knew what you were up to.

I live in Minnesota. I really don't need a grill, so if you wanted to send it to me, pay for shipping both ways...I'll install it, take pics and give feedback...and send it back.

If it fits nice and you decide to sell them, I'll put a plug on 73-87.com for you.

I think it is neat you are trying to reproduce these.

yes- it was cheap Jeff; and thank you. I am going to give it a few more days here to see if I can find a truck. There's several '75-'76 at the "Pick and Save" but no '73-'74....so it may end up coming your way
