GM grille shell vs. reproduction
Does anyone have any observations on the quality and fit of the reproduction grille shells available?

Not lately. The GM ones are WAY up. I'm afraid they are going to go obsolete before I can put together the money to buy one.

Re: GM grille shell vs. reproduction
gm grilles are around $600.00 shipped to us. gmpartsdirect has them for $496 but shipping brings them to $600.00 as of last week. We sell the Repros for $299.00 but they have no letters. We use to sell an aluminum one with letters but have trouble getting them now.

Always buy GM parts when available!!! Its your best bet. They may be more expensive but its well worth it!!!

Re: GM grille shell vs. reproduction
A couple months ago I bought an upper grille bar for my 70 GMC from Mike's.
It is not installed yet but have done the test fitting and comparison to the original. I have GM fender eyebrows and grille. They seem to fit this Tri-Plus piece just fine. I sure cant see any substantial differences and a tape measure doesn't see any either. Sure, I havent done final assembly yet, but I am confident its going to fit and look great. Later---DAC
