Commonly called a tube grille. You could check LMC or J.C. Whitney.

Look into getting one made from aluminun or stainless steel. Chrome grills look like crap after a few years when the rust starts taking over.

Those tube grills look good for a while, I would get a billet grille with the bars close together. It will look better for longer in my opinion.

I just like the way the thicker bars look and I think it would make my push bar on the front of my truck stand out better than my painted black grill I have now

I agree. For some reason the billet grilles just don't look right to me. I think it's just too big of an area.

I'll agree they look good on a round eye, but they just don't look quite right on an 81-87. But then again I prefer a factory grille over a tube grille too.

I was thinking that a grill like that on my 87 with a black bowtie would look badass!
