Repop 72 Chrome Steel Grille Surround and Insert

This are Counterpart pieces. I picked them up from The Truck Shop’s booth at the Pate Swap Meet 2 years ago at a discounted price, knowing that I wouldn’t use them until the end of the build. Well, so much time had passed I started to get anxious about possible damage from them being boxed up and in a non climate controlled storage, I decided to open them up and check them out. In spite of the box being chewed up by an ambitious mouse, I was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the parts. Of course I haven’t fitted them to the truck yet, so who knows how that will go... but I am optimistic based on what I see here.

I hope it fits as good as it looks. Is the center grill chrome plastic?

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Yes it is. Stock dimensions but chromed.

x2, have heard of aftermarket grilles that don't fit quite right. Hope this is a good one, it sure looks great!
