Have you considered painting your original grill the body color?

If you do, post pics cuz I am still up in the air about my grill!

No sorry all the new ones has the black paint on them. We put one on my sons truck and was thinking about removing the black paint but have not yet. I might take a new one out of the box and give it a try if I do I will let you know how it went. Thanks Tim

P.S. if you are interested in one with black paint PM or e-mail me I will make you a deal you can not refuse. Thanks

That is a '67 GMC grille in the picture. Only year "GMC" was stamped in the grille.

Heres the 3 types of GMC grilles we stock currently and their related parts, they all Triple Nickel Chrome Plated with a 5 year manufacturer warranty, they can all interchange though you must use original style top bar on your current grille if not changing hood styles.
1967

1968-70

1971-72

1969-72 Top Bars

1969-72 Fender Eyebrows

1967-72 Headlight Bezel in late 68-72 style with headlight adjuster screws

My store really lights up with these all on the wall reflecting.

So if I use the 67 grill on my 72 I'll need to use the 72 top bar. Is this correct?
