How well will the chrome hold up?
Any pointers on getting a good fit?
Any others out there that are better quality?
If you can shed some light on this I sure will appreciate it

It wouldn't even come close to fitting the opening. I even cut the spot welds apart trying to make it fit. I ended up letting a fellow bolter have it so he could cut a few of the ribs out to replace bent up stock ones. Mine is home made so you are still on your own!

I would let the vendor know for sure that there are quality problems with what they're selling. Personally I would look for a used grill and have it rechromed. It'll cost a lot of money but you'll get one that fits.

Today, 8 years later it still looks good. | | |
