**1971Stepside** · 04-08-2022, 09:41 AM

I purchased mine from LMC. Here are my thoughts.

1. Grill is heavy and chrome is good quality (probably 8 out of 10)
2. It has some super sharp edges on the back. It will cut you!
3. Fitment was an absolute battle. We got it done, but it took hours and hours of work.

Keep in mind I am running aftermarket front fenders with OEM hood. I'm not sure if the fenders were the big issue or the grill itself. I suspect some of both.

I love the way it looks and now that it is done I am glad I went that route, but don't expect it to just pop on your truck.
