Got the grill slats and uprights back from the plater. The results were top-shelf -Thanks Pete! (Diversified Metals in Phoenix)
Here's the slats and end pieces
The GMC logo front badge
Assembled with some stainless #10 screws and loosely mounted into the truck
Another view
There's only two body parts that are reproductions on this truck - the side aprons between the running boards and the bed, and the inner fenders. Both have been a pain in the a$$. The passenger inner fender has the mount holes for the grill, but the passenger doesn't, so I have to pull the grill off again and drill them, and I hate drilling on freshly painted parts.
Rant over, but to anybody reading this and contemplating repop body parts, do whatever you have to for obtaining originals.
Weather here in Phoenix is gorgeous now. More shop time with the door open to the fresh air.
