Looks good, if you don't mind, is it a reproduction and where did you buy from? I ask because I just installed a reproduction from Classic Industries and it is beautiful, but the fitment was less than perfect (required a little tweaking to install original headlight bucket supports) but it's in there and looks great!

nice job vic

hey where can i buy the chrome grill for my truck on a good price i have seen some companies but the average goes around $300

salazar44 · 07-13-2007, 01:14 PM

I bought my grill fromThe Truck Shop in orange county, CA. I think it was like $265 and it just went up from $245 not too long ago. Luckily for me I am in driving range and dont have to pay for shipping.

I did have some slight issues fitting my passenger side headlight bucket, but it was due to the tabs on the bucket being bent back. I might have bent them during removal. So after straightening the headlight bucket tabs it fit perfect.

However, it was a pain in the but to get the assembly mounted on the truck. But then again I was mounting it solo.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments everyone!
