not sure which one to go with, got the parts to go with either, heres a pic of it stock, and a bad photoshop with the new (89-91) style grille.

It would look good either way but I am a fan of the quad light setup or the first pic. That is a really nice lookin truck you have.

i like the one you have on it now. im not a fan of the newer style grilles. are there any good scrap yards in your area?

My vote is to keep what you have. Im not a huge fan of the newer styles.

I've had them either way. I've even swapped the 89-91 chevy front end on my truck until I got the GMC grille. It's a toss up for me.

I like the 89-91 GMC grilles myself. Also like the 80s duals. You can't go wrong either way.

Those Burb grilles are dated already, keep the 4 lights but get a billet grille,really cleans up the front ;)

I'm making one out of expanded steel for my K20.

KEEP it all GM, whatever you do. Both look great, to me, my first truck was an '86 with dual lamps, While I do like the 89-91 V-series I know the lighting options are more limited and more difficult to put together effective lighting for. The 4x6's in the 85-88 stack have a few more options.

I like the one you have on it now. I love gmc grills. Nice truck, great photo shopping!

Thanks for all the replies, and compliments guys! i ended up going with the stock grille, figured id just leave it the way it was made, ultra hard decision for me though. had the new style core support and everything painted and ready to go too ha but now i just get to do all the work again to the stock stuff. thanks again!

I'm kinda lazy id leave stock maybe add a billet grill to it.Maybe add a winch bumper or something else to change up the front end looks.

the stock set-up with a billet grille & the gmc emblem re-attached

Re: thoughts on grille for my truck
 
I personally like both but your truck likes fine the way it is i think the only reason i would do that change would be because my truck needs a new front and i just came across a good deal just my opinion

Man, I'm with the majority on both points: Like the original, love the truck. That thing would make "The Fall Guy" jealous.
