Looks really nice! When you get the chance, I'd like to see it mounted to a cab.

Sometimes a great find is worth the price. I love the grill and can't wait to see it mounted, bring on the pics...

I love Brian's grill.
I just saw it on E-bay and thought....what the heck.
The emb would be cool to purchase by itself

I felt the same way only way to find out is get one and you are right the emblem is top notch! It is super cool it like one that "Life Time Lug Nut" makes and sells for the real trucks...

I bought the first 2 he had on ebay and they were only 68.00 then, and then he raised the price to 80.00 and I said he could keep them. I agree Brian's grills are very nice but I do like to have a different look once in a while as well that is the reason I bought the 2 I did.

Hmmm, maybe if the bars were a little thinner, but I will wait to make that call, when I see it on a truck.

When I get back to building I am going to clean it up and polish it,and possibly
cut the bars out and put louvers,or real thin bars in it.:D

It's a shame you can't get more of just the emblems for the sides of your hood. His front bumper with guide lights actually looks nice too. For one of those China made ebay parts guys, he seems to have a nicer product then the rest. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=221198750748&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=21193686123

Wow that bumper looks very nice and I thought it would be much higher priced than that.

Love the visored bezels around the lights! That is a nice bumper.

What would be really cool is if the hood emblem were available separately, it looks to be just the right size for any grill

Hot ****, a proper Pete grille!
Had a look and he had something else that made my jaw drop:

Sweet Jeebus, i've been knocking my brains out, cutting my fingers to shreds trying to make maker lights and then I find that!

Those grills are now $98.00 but do include the hood ornament.

Would look good with Gardentruckin's single rounds.
