No pics here, but I hope you get lucky. I bought a Trenz billet grill for my '01 and after the cutting and prepping of the grill, IT DIDN'T FIT.
I ended up getting a speed grill and after seeing it on my truck, I wish I had gone with the speed grill first and avoided the hassle of the prepping for the billet grill(you have to cut out the black part of the grill to install the billet grill).

DO NOT buy the APC billet grill!!!!!! <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> That is what I bought at first and it did not fit good at all, and one of the welds was broke.

So I returned it and got the Stull billet grill and love it. Fits awesome and looks great. So, I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a billet grill. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Can you guys post some pics of billet grilles in GMC trucks? I'm shopping with plans to buy within a few days. I need the brand and price (with where you bought it) with the picture.
Thanks!

Both of those look great!!!
GreyGMC... where did you buy your grille? Also, how much is your truck lowered? Any more pics of it that might show the wheels a little better?? Boy, Storm Grey is a nice color.

BigKid... I would love to know what brand the grille in that red truck is. The cowl hood and the grille look really good together. Any more pics of it that you can link me to??

Kristi:

i sent you some pics. i bought the grille from autobaun wholesale out of the Truckin' mag. it is lowered with 2" springs in front and 4" drop leaf springs in the back(But only lowered 3"). but then i put 2" shackles on the back. only lowered it 1.5" though. the springs in front have settled a little, so it sits like a 3/5 kit.

Yea, that is SSHOTROD's truck.
I should talk to him tomorrow and I will ask him what brand it is. I know that it fits real good though. Here is his site www.sshotrods.com He has pics of his truck under "my rides" and some videos of mine and his truck on the dyno in the "media" section.
