Might be cheaper than a rebuild considering it's not #'s matching anyways?

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
I saw that may go check it out this weekend if I sell my trailer in time the original doesn’t seem like it’s going to cost to much to rebuild from what the machine shop guy said. If nothing else I may get it for a spare or something
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.
Doesn’t look like it will be to hard to modify mine it looks like they just cut them before it curves up to match to the header panel
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 thatExactly!A little work and patience is all it might take
