1981 C10 Front Grill is Ugly...Will a different year fit my truck?

[Leterip]

Will another year grill fit my 81 C10

 

[AyWoSch Motors]

Yes. Any 81-87 grill will fit with no modifications.
A 88-91 grill will also fit, but you need to modify your headlights, headlight bezels, and other mounting tabs.
73-80 girls will not fit without major modifications including swapping the whole front clip (core support, fenders, hood, valance, etc.).

What exactly does yours look like? I'm curious.

Yes, AyWoSch is correct ‘81-‘87
although I’ve never heard of an ‘81 described as ugly

Agree, but I'm biased.
Also attached is my 87.

i might go as far as to say they're ugly. Me, my brother and my dad all have Squares, and my oldest brother wants one but can barely keep his POS's together. So we say that his truck will be a lowered, 2wd '81-'82 rusted to hell and back straight six column shift, hoopty rims, it'll be like a **** brown and somebody butchered it and put like ugly running boards, huge mirrors and maybe even like '90s bucket seats or something. Pretty much the worst Square combination you could get (biased of course, hopefully that doesn't describe anybody's truck here haha

Meh, i dont like 80, or 81-87,
Just 73-73, 75-78, 79 and 88-91

I didnt like the look of the 79 until i owned one and it grew on me.

BLASPHEMY!

Since he likes the other 70s, he's my 78 k10.

I fully admit 77 is my favorite.

83 is also a cool one as I originally hated turn signals in the bumper.

Now ?

I think they look cool, but still a potential damage multiplier.

Yep I think the 76-78 are the same. At least the surround.
I had an 83 k5 and liked how the paint stripe went through the light bezels.
