that's the polish blazer lol, no, lmc doesn't have it.

you can get that grill on e-bay, or jcwhitney might have it. it's called a phantom grill. a big hit in the early ninetys.

look here, go thru the pages-many phantom grilles for a 2nd gen Chevy trucks, from different places w/ different prices...some go in your grille frame after you cut it out, while others are a complete grille replacement....I'm thinking of doing this to my 85 k10,...if i do, i will get a complete replacement, that comes w/hardware & instructions..if you look thru them all you can find several for under $200...i've been told you have to recess the head lights further back into the radiator support to install these phantom grilles, is this true?

also, i wonder how much light you lose on the road from the phantom grille...i plan on a roll bar w/5 off road lights forward(3 long range pencil beams & 2 flood lights)-1 flood light to each side-& probably, 4 lights upside down & backwards, so they will all fit on the roll bar(2 long range pencil beams & 2 flood lights), so even if the grille does cause alot of light loss, I'll still be able to light everything up!

but, those off road lights won't help you when your on the road & meeting oncoming traffic at night and you have to shut down the off road lights & the phantom grille blocks the majority of your headlights....I'm still on the middle of the fence at the time being, all the off road lites are going on as described, but i'm still not sure about the phantom grille....

i really like the looks of them, but i would like to ride in 1 at nite before i make up my mind....or at least talk to someone who has had one for awhile, & get their opinion about the lighting situation w/the phantom grille....is anyone running a phantom grille? if so, please dive on in here head 1st and give use the lowdown on these grilles, are they strictly for show trucks & trailer queens or can you drive at night ok w/the phantom grille?!?

I like this style only seen three like it and I own two of them! Makes me think old truck like 40's 50's

Square tube in the middle and round tubes in the top and bottom section.
