Grille Ideas
I got my son an 85 C10 and the grille is cracked/broken and just flops around so I figured, if we're going to replace it, might as well see what others are doing with their c10s of similar years to give him an idea of what his truck may look like. Open to either stock or bar grilles, etc.

so post up them pics!

thank you in advance....

Re: Grille Ideas
When I bought the truck, it had this grille. Since then, I changed it back to an original grille. See next post, since it will only let me upload 1 photo at a time.

Re: Grille Ideas
Bolt in would be stock or maybe a billet type grill.Or you can build your own any way you want.

Re: Grille Ideas
Those look great, thanks for taking the time out to post the pics!

TKCR, looks like you have chrome headlight doors/buckets?

also, What year is that front bumper? Any special brackets needed? I like the lights in the bumper.

My C10 is an 86. It's an 81-82 bumper, and I believe the brackets are the same. It too was already on the truck when I bought it. And yes, the headlight buckets are chrome. Got them from LMC.

As far as the grille, since new stock grilles are hard to find, I bought a NOS Van grille off EBay. They are the same and a lot less expensive.

That's fine, I get it all the time. It's easy to assume, I just love working on my truck just like the guys do.
