aftermarket grill

Has anyone here bought/used one of these aftermarket chrome grills from ebay? The goodmark grill is on average 550 bucks it seems.. but this guy is selling a different brand i assume for 345 shipped. Nice price, but just worried if its going to fit worth a damn.

When I bought my truck it didnt come with a grill at all... so hense the need.

Re: aftermarket grill

I was actually curious of the same thing. I will be in the market for one soon. Is this one for 345 all chrome or cream with chrome?

Re: aftermarket grill

Is that the same price that Brothers sells there for ?
I put one of Brothers grills in my 53 and everything bolted up and looks good, I think.

Re: aftermarket grill

Not sure but the "cream" brothers grill looks near identical.. so thats a good sign if solidaxel used one and it was satisfactory

Re: aftermarket grill

I'm thinking about getting one and If I don't like it for the 48 I'll put it in the 51 1-1/2 ton.

Re: aftermarket grill

I bought one from classic truck parts and it fit up just fine. Chrome with black bars.
