Pretty dang cheap! I used to be able to get those grilles, delivered to the shop, for around 35 bucks. The bezels were maybe 8 or 9 each. But that was years ago.

That carparts.com, isn't that how JCWhitney rebranded itself?

Found these on carparts.com a couple weeks ago. Even cheaper. If I cant find any willing to part with an OE set, then that's what I'll go for.

@FireTruck1984,@AyWoSch Motors,

Guys, please call these people and ask them if these bezels are plastic. That may be the reason for the cheap price. When I was parts shopping before I started rebuilding my truck there was a custom parts place in town. So I went over there and looked at their bezels and they were plastic. So, I literally went a block away to the Chevy dealership and they had original OEM bezels, metal, with the painted centers and that little space before the edge part, for not to much more, but they were real Chevy.

What do you mean metal, They're plastic from the factory, every set I've ever seen is plastic

80 and older are metal.

Edit: Were metal, reproductions are plastic.

Yes, I know that. We were talking about the 81-87

@FireTruck1984 Thanks for sharing.
I just looked and they have GMC grilles as well. Even cheaper for one model. (that per the description is for single headlight trucks, no bezels included, grille only) $45 price tag, supposedly $170 off of list price, so maybe real OEM??
To my knowledge, the grille is the same for 2 or 4 headlight model GMCs and the only difference is in the headlight buckets and bezels.
Do you know of any difference between the 2? seems like they both would be just like your truck pictured.

For trucks with 4 headlights, they put the riding light/blinker, in the grill, on 2 headlight models they riding light/blinker is below the headlight and not in the grill.
I think the only difference is there should be a place to bolt/snap the plastic light lense in.
That's just to the best of my knowledge.

^ Thank you. I forgot, the parking lights attach to the grille, not the chassis behind it.
