Aftermarket Grille Panel

[greg65]

I am getting ready to buy a grille panel for my truck and needing input on the fitment of aftermarket pieces. Which suppliers are the better ones to choose from?

The closest place to you is Goodmark You can go there and look at them in person. Just north of Atlanta.

We sell TriPlus but not really trying to sell you anything.
Tim Christian is sort of close (by Texas Standards) and so is Obsolete Chevy Parts company down south from you. I will let others comment on the fitment. we do body work so its not as big of issue on fitment as it may be on others. I will tell you the biggest problem area we have had on these years is right in the front where the fender and frame joint is. It takes some work to get them to have the right radius sometimes. ALso on aftermarket no matter who you get them from look to make sure it is actually assembled correct. We have had TriPlus fenders where the folded over seam was crimped wrong and causes them to not fit right. You just have to check them. Most all can be fixed but it can be aggravating paying for new parts and having to FIX them. We don't like it either but Hey thats the way it is. Its a fairly expensive part so I would go look at them

Thank you for the feedback. The two choices were Tri Plus and Goodmark. One of the bodyshops that I sell parts to is a Goodmark dealer and Goodmark itself is within driving distance. I could cut out the freight if I went and picked the piece up. People have told me that both companies products are made at the same place.
