WTB 84 grille

[jerry moss]

i'm looking for a nice original grille and turn signals for an 84 silverado suburban. it's the one for stacked headlights with the body color center bar and gold bow tie. must be clean and no cracks. not sure which years are the same but it looks the same as a buddy's 85 silverado pickup grille. hopefully someone here can help, thanks in advance.
if you have such a thing please give me a price including shipping to a business address in zip 94513.
pics would be nice also if possible.

the 83- & 84 were identical, I don't know why it would look like your buddies 85 but people change all this stuff comonly. the 85-87 will bolt right in and uses all the same surrounding trim and is a little 'cleaner' looking overall in my opinion. every 83-84 I bought that needed a grille got an 85-87 version. all the grilles i have right now are dual Headlight models not quad except for an NOS one. I'll double check I may have a complete 85-87 one. there are a lot of individual pieces to each grill. you must be replacing a custom grille or damaged one? DAVE

I have an 85. One screw holes is broken off, but otherwise it is in good shape. Can get pics if wanted. Your in CA too, so shipping shouldn't be TOO killer. You can even pick it up - I live 65 miles away.

Dave,
it got smacked in the nose, i've got most of the other pieces rounded up but can't find a nice grille for it. i'm not familier with the later trucks-- i do 67-72s but picked this suburban up for a good price, it's a loaded 3/4 ton 4x4, all powr, front and rear air, new motor, new 33-12.50-16.5 bfg tires and chrome wheels and i got it for $450. it's a light hit and there's no frame damage so i'll fix it up. if you have an extra grille you can sell i'm interested, thanks.

the 83-84 grills are the same as the 85-87. The main difference is in the light bezels. In the 83-84 the color in the center portion of the grill went across the bezel too. That option was removed for the later models.

They are NOT the same ,but do bolt in similarly and the turn/park signals interchange.

Jerry, try Tyler for his and drive to pick it up. I'm sure he's selling pretty cheap. most guys that run custom grilles like his are dying to get them out of their garage., but let me know if you have any questions.DAVE

Yeah. Mine is just taking up space. I don't have the turn signals, but they can be had at a junkyard for dirt cheap around here. $10 sound good if you come pick it up? The center portion is painted black.

I have a 84 suburban and I can tell you they are not the same. I switched it over from single headlights to dual headlights and found out the grille and emblem were discontinued. I went with a aftermarket grille and searched junk yards til I found the emblem and strips. The only years that will fit it is 83-84 only.

thanks for all the reply's, i'll check out the grille Tyler has since i'm going to be in his area over the weekend. all the other trim and such came from an 85 suburban in the wrecking yard so i should be alright with an 85 grille, i looked at the aftermarket grilles on ebay and mine doesn't look like the 83-84 version so mine must have been swapped out for a later style at some point ????? a lot can happen in 19 years, lol.

got the grille from Tyler today, looks like it'll work fine, thank you .
got the park lights/turn signals from a van at pick-n-pull and they fit like a glove. only need a few more pieces of the puzzle and i know where they're sitting in a local wrecking yard.

[crossy]

and WAY to the cheap you lucky dog. :-)

[jerry moss]

crossy,
thanks for your help as i really don't know what fits and what doesn't on these 80s trucks. i took a chance on the van park/turn signals and they actually fit
besides the gas i've burned, i really don't have too much in this thing, so far. today i'll go see if the rest of the pieces are still there and bring them home. they are in a regular wrecking yard so i'll have to pay full price .
i'm a cheap S.O.B. and really hate paying top dollar,lol.
