Ok, I was out at the junkyard today until about 4:30, and when I pull onto my street guess what I see parked in the driveway across the street?
A pristine 1980 K5 Silverado.

This truck was on craigslist not too long ago for $6800, and heres a picture from the ad.



Sadly nobody is home, otherwise I would have asked to take a better look.
 
Is that the factory grille for that year or is it something added later - aftermarket?

Never mind.. :) did a Google image search - appears to be stock. I really like that grille. :D
 
'80 models all have that pattern. If chrome grille option you get the square lights otherwise they're round.
 
I think the 1980 grill was way cool.


Only year with the square lights IIRC
 
Whats bad is that with it sitting across the street from mine, mine looks a bit like crap.


I'm sad.
 
that's actually my least favorite k5 grille of all time.

I mainly like it because I want to modify it. :D

It isn't so much the grille grid piece itself I like but how the whole piece around the lights and all is rectangular. It would work perfect for something I am planning.

If you don't like it, at least it's easy enough to go back to round headlights.

Awesome looking K5 though. Is that factory paint and everything?
