WOW!! That's truly a late one! Last of the run being 148!! I have a NOS "blank" # dash plaque in my collection I purchased years ago.

Yeah that’s what I thought to it was 2nd to last as I’ve done quite a bit of research on the b4black page along on a couple other pages

Yeah they appear to be 84-87 fillers. How do the 81-83 fillers look are they just cut for these pieces
The newer filler comes up and cures into the grill, where as the 81 82 83 I believe, are straight, and the grill has those two pieces you have there attached to the grill and meet with the filler panel.

I’ll have to try and find a good picture of how they meet maybe I can trim the bumper filler since they are fiberglass it shouldn’t be hard to modify them
 
With the wrong bumper fillers, its not allowing the grill to completely extend out. On those two pieces you have, they screw to the bottom of the outside of your gill, and they have stoppers on them, so when the springs on the grill tug on the grill to pull it to the front, the stoppers on those two pieces stop the grill in time to line the grill up perfectly with the header.
 
Exactly! 🙂 A little work and patience is all it might take 🙂
That’s what I’m thinking maybe if I get a dremel with a small cut off wheel and measure it and tape it I think is all it would need it just doesn’t look right having the grille pushed back like that
