WTB 71-72 grille in TX
 
I have a real decent 69-70 grille off of my truck now, but I want a 71-72 style.

I'm in DFW area, closer would be better. Would be very willing to trade my grille towards one. Driver quality is fine. Basically straight and able to be bolted on and look good from 10-15 feet.

Outer grille only would even be fine. I'll probably do a billet insert anyway.

i have a 72 inner and outer. would like to see pics of the 69-70 you have... does it have an inner?

Tx Firefighter 01-01-2004 05:23 PM

Yes it does. I'll get pictures this weekend to you. I'm at the station right now, so I can't send them.

69k5 01-01-2004 05:34 PM

I have a 72 outer if the first deal doesnt come through.

Do you want to shoot me a price to 76086?

I have no idea how much UPS would go for something of that size.

Tx Firefighter 01-01-2004 07:52 PM

69k5, what price do you have in mind?

Would you consider going through the shipping hassle?

dinnut 01-01-2004 08:16 PM

couldnt you come pick up the grill? and deliver the other one? or it might be some coins to ship something like this...

Tx Firefighter 01-01-2004 08:23 PM

It would have to be a real nice grille to make the drive worth it. That's like a 14-16 hr round trip.

dinnut 01-01-2004 08:25 PM

both the usps and ups say the package is too big. we could try greyhound maybe... greyhound has a station in weatherford and houston...

i tried the quote system on greyhounds website but it is messed up

Tx Firefighter 01-01-2004 09:16 PM

Randy, do you have a grille for sale?

Say yes please....

teeitup 01-01-2004 09:19 PM

Sorry Kevin, none I have are real good.:(

griesel72 01-01-2004 09:49 PM

I shipped one UPS from kansas to fort worth, it cost 38 with insurance, they had no problems with it.

69k5 01-01-2004 09:59 PM

nu2-72 01-01-2004 11:22 PM

tx firefighter you have a pm

Tx Firefighter 01-02-2004 01:03 PM

69k5, I like what I see. I'm ready to talk price with you.

Just let me know how much you want for the grille first, so I can see if you should box it up yet.

I know it's a lot of trouble to get a shipping estimate on it, but if the shipping runs close to what griesel payed, I could handle it.

I sold an NOS 70 inner and outer grille on ebay last summer and shipped it FedEx to the buyer. FedEx crushed the outer grille, mangling the original GM box so bad, that some FedEx employees taped pieces of other boxes to the original box to try to cover the holes ripped in it.
Then, FedEx denied the claim.
Thank goodness I had pictures of the grille and box that I took at the shipping center (as we took the outer grille out of the box, wrapped it in bubble-wrap, then put back in), and pictures of the demolished grille that the buyer took upon arrival. Those pics, combined with a letter from my attorney got FedEx to pay the $550 claim in full.
Still took 5 weeks to settle.
Needless to say, I will never use FedEx again.
Be carefull shipping those grilles. Very easy to damage.
