Interest in Lund Cold Front 92-97 Fseries

Ok guys. I want to gauge the interest in the Lund Cold front. They are the snap in plastic pieces that go in the grill(almost unnoticable, and can be painted if desired). They help TREMENDOUSLY with cold weather warm up. Lund Stopped making them about 5 years ago when they got bought by keystone Restyling.
I want to see if there is enough interest in them to see if they will make a run of them for us. The average price for these seems to be between $50-75
Here is what they look like

Please put your name and how many you would be interested in.
Just copy and paste the list and add your name. If you have your name on another Forum list DO NOT add here

i am hunting for one for an 87-91 body style. My diesel has a hard time making heat with out them. I just sold the ones i had for the 92-96 parted out the truck. I did find it is best to leave the top center one out makes it easier to get the hood open.

i'd be interested, especially if it was closer to the $50 end of things ...

I always said i would just have a spare grille and leave them in it, and then just swap grilles for summer/winter driving ...

It takes less than 30 seconds to remove or install every piece

I actually have a set of these sitting in the garage. I'm missing the top center one since I never put that one in (blocks the hood release) and I lost it somewhere. I also had cut small notches in 2 of them to run wires through for KC lights.

They are of no use to me since I don't have an OBS truck anymore, so I'd be willing to part with them for a few bucks plus the cost of shipping if anyone is interested.

EDIT....That didn't take long. They are already spoken for.

You just missed one on eBay, it was still up last week. Maybe he sold it or maybe it will get relisted.. There were a couple of them for the '92-'97 trucks also but I don't see them anymore either.

I have a set of these. I used them one weekend after I bought them, then took them off and put them back in a box.

For me at least, all they seemed to do was "look neat", and I didn't notice any obvious changes in warm-up time nor average temps while driving.

Then again, during the winter, I don't really need the radiator because I turn the heat all the way up and drive with the window halfway down.

Which reminds me, I need to slap the new heater core in so I can do that this winter too

I'll toss my name into the ring. A grille block is a possible aerodynamic upgrade as well for frequent highway drivers trying to squeeze out every mile they can.
