Where to buy grilles/cheapest grille

[TriGuy]

I want a black grille for my 92 Chevy K1500 but the cheapest I can find is $68 on ebay which seems outrageous but maybe it's not... Can get the same one from summit for $45 but they charge $55 for shipping and I don't need anything else from there. So are there any other vendors I should look at or is the ebay one a good deal?

The local junk yard/pick a part.

Factory grilles are around $200, and I'd recommend sticking with them. Most of the cheap aftermarket grilles like the one you posted have a bunch of slight differences that look really weird up close.

If you can't afford a new factory grille, then as mentioned I'd check salvage yards.

New grille is $365 before tax at the dealer near me. Obviously I didn't buy it.

GM Parts Direct has an OEM Silverado grille for your '98 priced at $246, but with an extra $147 shipping. Ouch!

Pulled the part number and threw it into Amazon... Wouldn't you know it... They've got them for $284 and free shipping!

EDIT - @TriGuy, I know you're probably not trying to spend this much considering you're asking where to get the cheapest piece possible, but I went ahead and looked up the factory part number for the grille on your '92. $246, free shipping.

Pull a part or craigslist. Then paint it.

Hmm...so how big of a pain is it to strip my already peeling chrome off the grill?

Mine was 67$ shipped . Perfect fit.
JY would be cheaper probally 25$ . New one would be cleaner an easyer to paint thats why I chose mine.

I got a new chrome one from certi-fit. It was $70, it's cheap, a bit flimsy but I keep $200 in my pocket. I'd do it again in a second.

You can't strip it, you have to sand it off. It's not a terribly huge pain, but it does take time. Or find someone to sand blast it.
