Grilling in the backyard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a hand getting a value on these grills. If someone can help identify from these pictures which grills (inner and outer) are original and which are repops and giving me a guesstimate as to a value of each I’d really appreciate it.

I need one for my 70 blazer and would like to use the grill that is most correct/original. I know the egg crate is for 71-72. I’m replacing the aftermarket grill in the last photo

For a 1970 stock truck, the top left pic with #3 down is the prize winner. All of the top 3 will work. Although, i am pretty sure that stock came with lettering.
A steel grille is worth almost double of an aluminum.

Everything that i have seen on the 69-70 grills says that the two I have boxed in red are original and the middle one would either be a repop or a service replacement grill. Only the originals had the double horizontal stamps that went to the headlights (from what I have seen) Also the inner grill is 69 if it is totally flat and 70 or replacements had raised areas from what I have read.

As far as I know from many threads posted here over the years; Richard2717 is correct. The headlight buckets would be black also.

Well that's good news because the one next to the egg crate grill has the least amount of dents. I think I'll use that one. Thanks for the help
