82 Sierra Grill alternatives

[82_GMC_SIERRA]

Working on my first Square body.

It's a 1982 GMC Sierra Classic Long bed.

I really like the stock grill but it has a chunk missing. I didn't realize this style was hard to come by. It's also a dual headlight vs the 4 headlights. So far I have not seen any locally for sale.

For those with the dual headlight set up what other grills are you running? I see the 81-82 grills but I don’t know if it will look out of place.

Repair it, and repaint it. It is not missing much at all.

I have an 82 that I've pieced together as well. Mine is a High Sierra but single headllamp version. I'm with @85K30 as I'd graft in a section and paint it. I used JB Weld and a donor 87 grille for the repair on mine. The grille mesh is a bit different but not many folks will notice unless you're using them for a hood ornament too! Hard to spot imperfection when running 55... Good Luck with it.

Welcome to the site too, by the way.

Unfortunately, none of the GMC grilles are repopped other than a crappy version of the '85-88. Any '81-88 Chevy or GMC grille will work for you though, they all physically interchange. Mine (blue one) is an '85, it had the original grille in it when I bought it that I never really cared for...

So I made my own out of a cheap repop '85-88 Chevy grille and an emblem from one of my old NBS trucks
