Call Southern Kentucky Classics. They should have one in stock for $85 plus Shipping. There number is (270) 746-0400.

You noticed that they raised the shipping cost to $45. They told me it's because UPS costs too much to have kept it at $33. $20 is for handling.

Don't these already come in a box new? So what handling do they have to do tor $20.00? UPS comes to them to pick up. I think that is a rip off! IMO

i suggest that grille... i got one from that guy and its great quality... good fit:

78SilveradoSWB · 07-06-2005, 04:22 PM

Still, $66 is a good price and a bargain, but the shipping & handling makes up for the retail price. I bought a Stull aluminium billet grille for about $98 retail from a 4X4 parts dealer and stainless steel is much stronger than billet aluminium. I still plan to buy one after I sell my Stull one.

RooRDaDDy · 07-06-2005, 06:13 PM

I didnt go with ebay i dont see paying that much when i get the same grille for 43$to my house thx all i just bought it from 4x4parts thx for all ur help hope i like it

Are you able to get to the hood latch ok ?

RooRDaDDy · 07-06-2005, 06:22 PM

didnt think of that haha i shoul dbe though if not ill make it work hehe

MM in NM · 07-06-2005, 10:38 PM

Since I needed a grille for the 79 driver I'm putting together I also ordered one from 4x4parts. They told me $44.95 delivered so we'll see what arrives. Hood latch? Maybe will be a problem but I'll also make it work one way or another.

MM in NM · 07-11-2005, 06:39 PM

Mine, from 4x4, came today. A little bent from our friends at UPS it looks as if it'll straighten up OK. For less than $45 bucks delivered and especially "Made in USA" I think I like it.

BALDMIKE · 07-11-2005, 07:16 PM

Got a link for this $45 grill ?

RooRDaDDy · 07-11-2005, 07:29 PM

Just ordered me one of those babies !

Thanks for the link, $46 delivered not bad !

BALDMIKE · 07-14-2005, 09:58 PM

Holy Sh@t !

I just received the griil and it arrived SO BENT TO HELL I could not believe it !

This grill is not even worthy to put in your ex 'ol lady's ride if you know what I mean.

I called customer service and they told me this was a one time thing and they would contact me and send me out a new one so I will post back with the results........

the baron · 07-15-2005, 05:16 AM

Hi Guys ,

One of my friends has a 1980 Chevy G20 Van & has done his own Billet grille , a lot cheaper of 100 $ ( no pic's , sorry... )

I was thinking to apply the same system on my 1982 Burb..

greetz

I bought one of those 4Wheel Parts grilles, also. Mine was in great condition, no problems. For less than $45 I figured I could chance it. Tomorrow I'll see how it installs......

Well I hope they hurry up with a replacment for my bent to hell grill I received from them.
The sales rep advised me he would call me back today but I guess
it's a Friday huh ?

MylilBowTie · 07-15-2005, 09:35 PM

Do those have mounts for the turn signals in them?

BALDMIKE · 07-15-2005, 09:49 PM

Well I just received an email from 4Wheel Parts with a UPS tracking # !

I guess they are shipping me a new one, fast service I just hope #2 is straight grill.

So far so good will post back...........

squint · 07-16-2005, 01:35 AM

Wow.. Let me know what happens.. I really want to order one of these bad boys.. I am in canada.. so my shipping is probably a little more.. but as long as it makes it here in one peice and not bent to @#(* ..

squint · 07-16-2005, 01:36 AM

oh.. another thing.. for all those worried about the hood latch..
It covers the whole completely.. the only way to open the hood is by sliding your fingers in after you pop the latch and pushing the hook over to the left..

squint · 07-16-2005, 01:51 AM

Doh.. It seems they wont ship to canada

Guess I will keep looking for a local one.
