NOS grille score

[hemi43]

Good find ! Most of the aftermarket parts I used were great quality except the grille. The biggest problem is the material is dead soft and is way too thin that even the smallest rock will dent it. I would love an OEM grille, but wouldn't have the balls to use it considering the rarity and cost.

I had that very same thought...it was in an unopened GM box.....the guy I got it from told me that he had it for many years and had been asked a bunch of times to open the box and send pictures....he refused to do it....but when I contacted him about buying it, he did......I suppose he was now seriously ready to sell it. He doubled packaged it and I insured it for $1000.00..(a little more than I paid for it)

I should have it tomorrow....and, like you, I'm a little hesitant to even put it on....thinking of perhaps just storing it away for the future...these old trucks and parts are better than money in the bank...
