I just bought this 1983 GMC C1500 and I want to repair/replace this grill. Im assuming the original grill was replaced at some point because this isnt a 1983 grill from what I've seen. I've searched but I can't figure out what it came off of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome from Central NC. I love the look of the '89-'91 grille and they are very popular for swaps on older trucks. If you look on this site you will see a few forums with varied opinions on that setup. Good luck on your build.

Thanks so much to those that replied, I really appreciate it! The core support, harness etc. was switched out. I'd rather have the original style grill but for now I'll just repair what I have. Thanks again for the assist, off to order parts and spend more money!

Yes, just sell what you have to someone in here wanting to do the 1989-91 swap. Then take your money to a junkyard for a used 1983-87 GMC Sierra Classic nose. You will need a 1983-87 quad-headlight radiator support, all lights and mounting hardware/springs,etc., front headlight wiring harness,the filler panel under the grill & between the front bumper, then the 1983-87 GMC grill and headlight bezels. The GMC trim stuff is getting very difficult to find too. Try your local Craigslist too....

Yep, this is the grill that is on my 90 GMC Suburban as well.
