Help Me identify a GMC grille
A few months back I was working up in the Paradise/Concow, CA fire zone. A gentleman had lost his life in the fire and his son was there cleaning up the property. What used to be a really nice GMC longbed belonging to the dad had burned to the ground. About the only thing left that was salvageable from it was the grille and front bumper. They stood out as they shined in the sun. I asked him about the trucks that burned up and he said I could have any parts I wanted from them as he thought it would be cool to have them live on even though his dad passed. He couldn’t remember the year of the truck and the doors were stuck shut due to the heat, rust and warpage from the intense fire.
That being said, can someone help me put a year to it? I am debating on swapping out my radiator support and the rest to put this on my truck as a tribute to the old man who lost his life. I was able to salvage the grille, fender trim, headlight buckets and trim rings, headlight surrounds, and the front bumper with brackets. I haven’t even wiped the soot off of the parts
