1980 grilles

i was wondering where to get a nice grille cheap. it can be tube or standard it dont matter. the junkyard trucks have either broken or taken grilles. does anybody have a good idea where to get one on the west coat? preferably reno nevada?

If you cant find one in the junkyard or a truck being parted out than a lot of the sponsors on this site have grill parts

LMC truck also sells these new. Price isn't too bad, either.($80 for chrome, $50 black) I am guessing these are reproduction units, but if the looks are the same as factory, well worth the price.
Finding a good 80/81 grill insert in a salvage is not easy, as the 82-86 is twice as common.
Since I have no clue if LMC is a paid sponsor, I won't supply a link, but google will......

I'll add that the repos aren't always as good. But they are new, and the old j/y grills have been in the sun since new. So, if you have a keeper, I'd sure look at the repo new grills.
