Good gmc grill

[Pro439]

Looking for a good gmc grill if there is such a thing

Pay $$$$ to the repro guys or hunt at the yards. Or might find one at a swap meet....

The Year that your looking for would also help. But LMC seems to offer decent grills now if your willing to pay for it.

I have one on a parts truck. Not sure what shape it’s actually in. Never looked at it closely.

So the actual grill part of the grill likes to crack as well as where it attaches to the core support. I can’t for the life of me figure out why gmc did their grill so cheaply compared to a Chevy grill. I have 5 grills and everyone is cracked

My biggest issue with the aftermarket grills are where the gmc goes they aren’t always similar to the OEM grill. The money doesn’t really matter to me. I do like the early version as well but would need the filler piece and I don’t know that it will screw to the later radiator support. So the aftermarket also makes the aluminum tailgate strip for the Chevrolet but not the GMC. I talked to a guy who was smart enough to buy what a dealer had in stock and he says they’re going for $1500.00 now that’s nuts. Does anyone have experience with the aftermarket grills? How long before they crack? The material they are made from is the quality that gm used. I’ve thought about trying to do a stainless one it would be a lot of work but it would last

Trying to make that big piece of plastic lightweight I guess. I've seen plenty of the Chevy ones crack on the mounting points. The ears on the top are notorious. And the recessed ones; Cunningham has just released some "grille saver" specialized washer/support pieces to help stabilize those.
The '88 GMC I got the quad beams from at the yard had a very busted up grille, so it didn't bother me to break it some more to remove the headlights.

What color interior do you have. I also need a p/s neutral side piece for in between the doors mine almost broke in 2 when I put it back in and I had the heater outta it trying to reseal it but I still have a leak in the corner that I don’t know what it’s coming from. I bought a grill in PA and by the time I got back home it had cracked and 1 of the tabs on the bottom broke

Yeah I saw that and I’ve made some pieces for my chevy grill but that truck isn’t nice so I didn’t care if it looked like crap as long as it held the grill. I’m waiting to have some tube bent and I’m going to go up in front of the grill with it just because you can’t get a OEM replacement anymore and the fact there’s nothing to them. Every time I go get steel or aluminum I ask them how soon they can get to it and never really get a good answer but they are the only place around that will do that small of an amount
