Been working on other stuff and mostly just using this one as a daily driver. After spending the morning delivering several loads of Angel Tree gifts, I decided to add a bit of bling to the 81. For the GMC, they only reproduced the "M" of the original style grill letters. I kind of wanted folks to know it were not a Chebby. So I found some emblems off some newer SUVs. I picked up several, but I believe this one came off of the rear of one of the recent car style SUVs. Cleaned up the grill and I had some good 3M trim tape, so cut some up, aligned her up and now she show her lineage up front.

I am still debating on a aftermarket tube grill, but for now this should do.
