91 Burb Front Clip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 06:51 PM

I have a complete 1991 suburban front core support, headlights, wiring, grille, and headlight buckets....
the core support has been por'd so it's good to go...
everything is in pristine condition except the grill emblem is cracked...

I cannot tell yall how good of shape this thing is in...

was wondering what yall think its worth...I think I'm gonna put it on my truck, but I might sell it depending...thanks fellas...

I took a brief look at your truck. The newer front clips look great on street trucks, a little bit of a more modern look. I also like the 84 style, just depends on me for the look you want out of your truck. I got the same style grill on my 89 burb and i love it. I'd think you could get close to 200 if everything is there. How are the headlight bezels? Is it a GMC or Chev grill?

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 07:29 PM

its a Chevy grill and the headlight bezels are in great shape...I'll post some pics...the core support is just a little dirty...it looks awesome clean

Davidmichael · 09-07-2010, 07:34 PM

everything looks to be in good shape. The price all depends on where you live. That conversion is not really popular here any more so the price is a lot lower than previous years. I would say around here, you would get $200. maybe a bit more but not much.

RandyP · 09-07-2010, 07:38 PM

The support with lamps, wires and grille/bezels goes for $150 here. You can get $200 to $250 if your sheet metal goes with it and is in good shape, meaning basically the entire front clip. Granted you've cleaned up your support already, but you say you POR15'd it? I'm not a fan of the stuff, and to me that would deduct from the value. I'm weird though.

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 07:37 PM

everythings in excellent shape except the grill bowtie emblem...I live in the middle of South Carolina

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 07:43 PM

I didn't POR it...it came off of 1972supercheyenne's black truck and it was on the truck and POR'd before he bought the truck from Bigarmzz...

79gmcclassic · 09-07-2010, 08:54 PM

whats a POR?

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 08:55 PM

Paint on Rust sealer protectant

SBTork · 09-07-2010, 09:06 PM

If it were for sale around here I'd say $200-$250. Sounds like it's in real nice shape.

**old Rusty C10** · 09-07-2010, 09:21 PM

in my neck of the woods you could prolly get closer to $3-350 cause of the rust issues here in the salt belt

RandyP · 09-07-2010, 10:06 PM

Actually, if the grille and bezels are in really awesome shape, you could get $100 all day long just for them, easy. Probably more. Good used grilles are rare in these parts. Also, I'll admit most of the stuff I see around here for the price I said, is in not real great shape, needing total work overs.

No doubt in my mind what you have is worth more than the junk around here.

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 10:08 PM

I'm going to be putting a new OEM bowtie on the grill ...once I do that, the whole package will be flawless that I can tell...nothing needs to be restored or refurbished on it...

joe231 · 09-07-2010, 10:31 PM

that grill is worthless, please forward it to me so I can do something useful with it

lmao...my emblem is broken just like yours...but not for long...I gotta guy checking on one for me...

355bullet · 09-07-2010, 10:49 PM

250 maybe? because that radiator support metal is better than the re-pops?

STOCKISH · 09-07-2010, 10:58 PM

Having a hard time making up your mind buddy!??? If anyone is interested, everything is in amazing shape and the wiring is done so you just plug it into your firewall and go. The lights are bright as heck too!

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 11:03 PM

thanks buddy...I appreciate the review...I think it's in awesome condition...I can guarantee once I get the new emblem in the grill you won't find a nicer setup anywhere...maybe as nice, but not nicer....

and yeah I don't know what I want to do, but figured I'd like to know what it's worth if I decide to sell it...noone has said I should keep it yet...lol...I don't think it goes with the retro look I'm going with anyways...

RandyP · 09-08-2010, 08:03 AM

The bowties are available from GM still, and fairly cheap. GM part # is 15617085 if it helps any at all.

STOCKISH · 09-08-2010, 08:14 AM

I've seen worse ones sell around here for $200-$250.
