The front, chrome-plated plastic grill is cracking on my '95 2500. Where is a good place to get one without spending one arm and half a leg? Mine isn't completely broken yet, but judging by the way the cracks are progressing, it won't last.

 

They aren't cheap. You can try LMC truck, NAPA or a wrecking yard for an 01-02. At least that would be a few years newer.

Problem is most wrecks ruin the grille so the last suggestion may not be a good one...

 

Places that sell aftermarket replacement fenders and body parts also sell lights, bumpers and grills at a fraction of the cost of the dealer.

 

Thanks guys. I'll try some of those places. I'd rather get a new one IF I can get it relatively cheap. I have no idea how much they are going for.

 

I have been happy with some of my stuff from lmc. I cannot remember what grill maker they use but I found out and then when on ebay or amazon and found it for about 40$ it was chrome plated, it was good for me. a year later I ended up sanding it all down and then painted it black anyway.
if you do not need a chrome one you could always get a plain black full plastic one and then paint to match your color. This would save some money too. those are pretty cheap on amazon and ebay.

 

Oh thanks, I hadn't thought of ebay or Amazon. I'll take a look and see what's there.

 

Thanks guys. There's one on ebay right now--$68 with free shipping from Kansas. I was afraid they'd be hundreds of dollars.

 

I got mine from LMC. In fact I'm on my second. Both the stock and the first chome replacement had the chrome peel off so this time I got a paintable one and matched the rest of the truck. I got enough shiny with the S/S teeth grill inserts anyway.

 

That's what I'm afraid of with a cheap one--bad chrome. I've seen them on ebay as low as $48 with free shipping.
