Obviously I'll need a new grill. Rare are decent ones in the Junkyard, so may just replace with a new, shiny one! Who makes a decent replacement?

LMC - $278 shipped
Brothers - $239 shipped
Classic Parts - $236 shipped
????

I'll probably hit the junkyard for the core support, once I get the hood openned. I'm afraid once I open it, I might not be able to get it shut securely. Probably wait until this weekend.

Daughter is still shooken up and didn't want to drive this morning either. :(

I got a Goodmark one for my '90 Jimmy from Rockauto, great price, but it was completely chrome. :doah: The 1st one was cracked, and they took care of it 100%.
I tested it, but not to a truck that had a hood. It seemed to match the headlight brakes well.

Anyone have experience with NPD (National Parts Depot) replacement grill? Their prices look very good for plastic grills.
 
T Rex grille.
Stainless steel.
Do it once.
Do it right.
Hit a pheasant.. pry the carcass from your grille, chop the breastmeat up with bacon, make burger patties, done.
Plastic is for cell phones and jeeps.

Unless you're wedded to a stock-looking grill, seems like time for an upgrade. The decent plastic replacements typically cost more than a stainless or billet one anyway.
