Best quality and best price $ aftermarket Grill reproduction



Which gettin place has the best quality and price grill after market grill (chrome 1981)?

I know of Truck Shop in Orange, LMC, Brothers(sucks), Southwest Classics, any other?

Also I see LMC has these all chrome headlight bezels. Do they look like crap or good on a truck. Original chrome bezels had silver painted just around the headlight bulb

below is chrome grill, with standard chrome bezels with silver painted inside part around bulb, chrome edges

Yes, a lot of the aftermarket grilles are low quality. I did recently have good luck with an ‘85 from Truck Shop… The chrome bezels only look good when matched with chrome grilles. And like any chrome plated plastic, you have to be gentle when cleaning, never any abrasive compounds.

I'm biased lol but we seriously have some of the best grilles on the market. They were developed in house here in GA and are very nice. I also am not a fan of LMC's all chrome headlight bezels, it's just overpowering. Plus, they're the '85-88 style, so they don't line up well with the '81/82 and 83/84 grilles

Those look reasonably priced , looks same price as LMC. Some sellers price quite a-bit higher to gouge the buyer

Does AMD use FedX(package destroyers) or UPS

I live in Idaho, I hope you guys have plenty of grills to send me, and get returned brokin. I'll betcha you guys will be sending me several grills because Fed-x breaks everything

Home depot sent me three different pole chain saws and fedx broke 3 so I gave up and got my money back. Only 1 arrived broken , got a email about the other 2 damage during transport and never made it to my house

Good god man. Well, you might consider at least ordering through one of our dealers that might use UPS. Summit Racing, JEGS, Speedway, etc
