Is there anyone who makes a tube grill for a 71 GMC or just a different type of grill that looks nice? Thx

Since the grille,surround,and headlight doors are integrated,there is no custom grille made to bolt in.Some people change to the 71/72 Chevy surround to fit a custom grille.69/70 Chevy owners do it,too.I`ve seen people cut them to retain the dual headlights.IMHO that is a bad move.Unless,maybe,your grille area is damaged and the outer areas are good.The stock grille is what makes a GMC a GMC.
