I have a stock GMC grill from a 75. I do not know if they are exactly alike. I think I have a square tube grille still also for that style. Shipping might be kinda high though. I think they are both in excellent condition but I can check next time I am out to where the parts are.

Thanks for the reply, the 75 is not the same, if you get to the tube grill let me know how it looks. Thanks

discontinued and the aftermarket doesnt make them.. I think your best bet is the junk yard or ebay..
for what its worth 77-80 GMC grills were all the same, so that might help you in your search.. I have collected a couple of them that are in decent shape and Im going to make one good one out of them both some day. mike |

If you look at the bottom right rectangle, then look to the left 3 holes, there is a piece that is missing from there. It is not very noticable though. The break is clean.

I also have this grille that is off a 78. It has some surface rust and the chrome is flakeing off. If you sandblasted it, you could paint it nicely. New this grille is $90.

I've got a stock '79 GMC Grille for sale. There's just one problem I think and that will be the shipping charges. I'm in The Netherlands so it will cost you a bit I think. Here is a picture just in case you're interested.
If you are interested let me now by mail (th700@hotmail.com)
