Where can I buy a new GMC grill? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Scrub · 03-03-2003, 01:04 PM

I see LMC doesn't sell GMC grills. I need/want a new 1970 GMC grill and bezels, trim etc. who sells them? who has the best price?

I see GMC Paul has chrome GMC grills, doe anyone make the stainless grills, or are they a fortune? (that chrome is purty though)

I am in Oregon, so west coast freight is better. UPS seems to smash my coast to coast shipments.

Thanks in advance.

the last LMC catalog i got had gmc grills in it for $500

Mooneyes is correct LMC does have them.

Scrub · 03-03-2003, 11:32 PM

Well? Does LMC have a catalog that is just for GMC? I have a Chevy catalog and I assumed it was for both.

Gets back to that assume = "A$$ of you and me" thing I guess

More than likely that's the problem here. I'm going to LMC.com be right back.....

OK, Im am either an accidental idiot or a inadvertant genius, but LMC only has catalogs from 73 and newer for GMC, at least that's what the website offers.

Ford and Chevy go from 1947 forward.

Anyone actually have a LMC catalog for a 70 GMC?

As far as i know, they are not making a 70 Grill yet...only the 71/72.

gmc383 · 03-04-2003, 12:16 AM

were available for a 70. I am not really sure though cause if i have a nice straight core, I usually just chrome it myself. Same with the bezels.

Ackattack · 03-04-2003, 12:48 AM

does anyone make one that is just steel. Mine is chromed and painted, and paint doesn't stick to chrome the greatest (after 5 years there's a few chips in it) and I'd like to get a steel one painted eventually.

No one makes a stainless steel GMC grille Chrome only and only currently available in 71-72 grill look, though the 71-72 main grill will bolt into all 67-72 GMC's
We stock the 71-72 style and it can be found here

gmc paul is $100 cheaper too !!!!

Talk about a major brain fart. I have had this GMC truck for 20 years and it has been a daily driver for about 10 of those. I have repalced every moving part in it at least once. Until yesterday, I would have bet anyone that the grill was stainless.

Narp.. just really dull chrome.

What will I learn tommorrow?

Looks like GMC Paul is the best deal around. He has the best fenders too.

Thanks to all
