Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this forum but thought itd be a great place for me to start.
I just bought an 81'Scottsdale and I love it ton pieces but It does need some work. Now I was Googling and I found something that I just had to have. Its a billet grille that covers up where the bottoms lights would be (I dont have any because my signal lights are in my bumper and frankly I like ot better that way) so I'm going to try to post a picture of this grille and hopefully someone will no where to find it. Half of me thinks it might be a suburban front end but i dont know. Ive searched for the last two weeks almost. :boti:

I think that was an aftermarket grille they made back in the 90's. I've looked for a chrome square tube grille to replace mine, but I'm not sure they make them anymore.

Thank you. Itd make sense on why I cant find it. Do you have any suggestions on what I should put in instead?

What about a phantom grill and cut out the top lights?

Ive thought about that, and i think that might be the way i choose to go, if i can find a phantom that has a small point in the middle of the Grille, then i can just buy a bowtie for it after words. im being really stubborn about this truck.

not a bad looking grille, a first for me, never saw one.

It's a square tube grille, but yet it's a 1/2 phantom to boot.

Id love to do a round headlight swap but ive heard itd be a pain in the ass to do. If there's a wrote up somewhere id love to see it!

And I dont know why I lije it so much I think its because it puts a minor point in tge grille and follows the hood line.
