My Grandad told me once that all he got for Christmas was a hole cut in his pocket so he had something to play with! LOL

Heres a before and a couple after pictures of the grille I just picked up and restored. Unfortunately the corner is broken and these are hard to find would love a donor grille for a repair. What do you guys think?
(I know, the bowtie needs replacing)

Speaking of grills. Anybody have a line on an 84 GMC, single headlight grill? Looked at all the usual suspects but they are either 82 and down or 85 and up. That goes for fleabay as well. Thanks for any info.

Found a great condition grill for my 82 k5. No broken pieces and original bow tie was there. This is a 2 year only grill and I paid $35.

If that grille is for the 87 in your profile, good luck finding a new bowtie. I've looked and think it's a one year only piece. Let me know if you find 2!

I have found several NOS ones on ebay, using the part number on the bowtie. They're out there, but they're expensive!

Sorry, I was referring to the bow tie, not the whole grille

I've got a bowtie off an 86, is that the same one? It's for sale or trade.
