Is This A Good Grill ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Guyz,

I have a 79 and was wondering if this is a good grill ?

Does anyone have this one personally ?

That's a good looking grill. I think it looks nice. I do not have one like it but use to. I really liked it. But now I like the stock grills. MPO

i think ocbaud had one on his truck before he put his phantom on, correct me if i'm wrong, i also believe someone else has one of them, but of course it was for an 81-87

while we're talking about grilles, is this a good grille also http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...979408582&rd=1

Thanks for the replies Guyz,

So nothing bad to say about these ?

i bought the exact same one from Grill4You for my 87 about a month ago and i love it. i also bought a billet bowtie for the grill as well (from a different vendor). The grill came in a little less than a week and I love it. Looks like the same one except for the parking lamp brackets.....

$33.00 for shipping

78SilveradoSWB · 06-12-2005, 10:20 PM

I am considering the same grille, especially the 304 stainless vs. the standard aluminium billet with a Stull grill that I have. The shipping/handling is a bit excessive, but still it costs the same as my Stull did when I bought it locally. I think I will sell my Stull and get this one.

Yeah, Kool looking grill!! Should look pretty sweet when you got it on your truck.

Looks good Bro !

How do you like it, any rattles or breakage ?

* Also, what size drop do you have on that bad boy ?

slammd72 · 06-13-2005, 08:41 PM

i bought a Phantom for my 88 cc from Grille4you and had no problems. there are other billet phantom and not phantom grilles out there that are more expensive, but they just have more bars than these grills. i am happy with mine.

r0lf- · 06-13-2005, 09:05 PM

It doesnt rattle very much, SOMETIMES it will, but thats because it hasnt been adjusted in 5 years or so. If I tighten it down its just dandy. And I can still use my manual hood latch. The front is bagged btw and the rear is (my best guess) 8+ inches or so.
