Need your help identifying this grill guard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi folks, it's been awhile but I have a question that I was hoping that you might be able to help me with. I am looking for this particular grill guard. I googled this style and it led me to a thread here, but it's older. One day I might build a custom one for my suburban but I really like this style. It looks like a ranch hand grill guard, very similar to one I had on an OBS tahoe. Thought some of you might know. Thanks in advance.

100% custom. Nothing about that is something you could buy.

I'm not so sure about that. It looks pretty much identical to this one off of my old tahoe. Just not as "swept back" since the front end is different. I wonder if the one on the square body is just a modified version of the one like the tahoe has.

Looks to be the same as on burb/Tahoe. Not sure but I'd be curious to the brand as well

I thought it was an old Ranch Hand grill guard but from what I've read/heard, they never made them for square bodies. You can tell that it isn't just a reworked one because the center vertical bars are different.

Yeah I see what you mean. There's just a few differences. Good luck finding one, looks great

If I was going to have one of these built, I would also have the front bumper made of the same heavy metal which would make the whole thing much stronger. But that is just me. Then you could just feel sorry to the poor person that hits your front end.

Ouch!
