1971-72 outer grill shell question
I was curious if anyone has a any issues with the chrome plated outer shells for 71-72. I have a local guy that sells parts for these trucks, blazers, and burbs. He said he would'nt sell anymore, because the chrome peels off easily. Any info would be greatly appreciated...Thanks Greg

I had one I got slightly used and it looked nice and the chrome seemed very good on it....but repop can be different batch to batch....

Re: 1971-72 outer grill shell question
I've got a repop and the chrome is still good after 3+ years. I haven't been able to get it to fit correctly on the front of the fenders, but that is probably more due to the aftermarket fenders.

Re: 1971-72 outer grill shell question
mine is peeling on the inside,under the hood.every time i pop the hood another piece curls off.im going to try and cut it off straight and paint in this area.....very frustrating. the fit was good and i like the looks.but the quality off the plating is not up too par.just my 2 cents worth....

Re: 1971-72 outer grill shell question
Are the OEM ones still available? And are they a better choice?
