I've got one with the custom cab trim on it and everything. I'd recommend looking more local if you aren't from the Midwest though..

What would be considered a fair price for a 55 grille in good condition?
My reason for asking is the one on my truck is chrome and has a lot of bad rust on it. I would like to have it re-chromed some day when my budget allows but had wondered about getting a decent used one and painting it in the meantime and using that instead. Not to mention I am not sure if the rust might be bad enough to make it very hard or very expense to have it re-chromed.

You can expect to pay aeound $350 for a used grille from a dealer. If you keep an eye on CL and go to local swaps you can find one for a lot less. A buddy just bought one here in SoCal for $225 that was in excellent condition AND it had a good set of hockey stick trims on it.
