Are 1980 GMC grills extinct?

Which grill are you asking about Wes? The pictured one in the ad says it’s a 78, I think 77-80 are nearly identical with exception of the painted cross bar

What year is that grill. I need a Chevy grill and this one is only on there to fill the spot. Not perfect, all screw holes are there a few fins missing
77-79 Chevy grills are all identical. I believe the GMC grilles are nearly identical as well. 1980 they changed the look, but not the fit.
 
I think gmc kept the same style in 1980, based on inter web research, so Wes your grill could be a 77-80

There’s a company that makes grilles called engineered vintage, or grilles AF. They look unbelievable, hard part is they’re $1600, which doesn’t add up for a lot of our rigs..
 
77-79 Chevy Grille is same - this grille was also available (sparingly) on 1980 Chevys and will fit 77-80 Chevys
Chevy also made a one year only grille in 1980

This is style of the 1977-79 Chevy grille:

The 1980-only Chevy grille:



77-80 GMC Grille is same - there are color variations (all gray no emblem, chrome with gray & red/orange GMC emblem) but structure/geometry is same

If my grill suits your needs i am not keeping it. I need a Chevy grill, or gonna make something.
 
Wasted Wages bought my 1980 GMC Jimmy. Grill was not perfect, but was decent. You can try contacting him. It was the correct 1980 GMC square headlight one.
 
I’ve been looking to replace my well loved grill, it’s the 2x5 panel that appears to be a one or two year only option. @kennyw showed me what engineered vintage is making, and while they’re amazing, The rig is gonna be a wheeler so I really don’t want to spend $1800 on a grille for a rig that’s gonna get beat on.. It looks like I could go with a more popular option from a different year, but I’d like to keep it somewhat original looking, and I’m not interested in billet grilles.. Does anyone know where I can find one of these? I’ve scoured the web and I can’t find anyone remaking this style of grille, and there’s nothing on eBay..

We are only company (to my knowledge) that re-produces the 1977-80 GMC grille.

You will need to hit Craigslist or FB market for a plastic one
