Coenut Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Can anyone tell me if the aftermarket chromed plastic grill shells are garbage? I see them for sale and have been cautious because of cracking and flaking issues.

Timmyb Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Is that for the f and r model interchangeable grill?I asked my local parts guy for that one and was told can't get it anymore so aftermarket would have to do. Mine was rusted out so at least plastic won't do that. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43554-r-model-grill/#findComment-320307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I bought 3 of them,not knowing they were plastic as they were only adverstised as repros,no mention of plastic at all.,they aren't the best,they might be ok for a show truck,but I don't think they would hold up well in everyday use.

dockmen027 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Can anyone tell me if the aftermarket chromed plastic grill shells are garbage? I see them for sale and have been cautious because of cracking and flaking issues.A friend still has one metal grill from a Cat powered R-700 that was listed here a couple years ago along with an air cleaner for it which I'll get a photo of next week and post.Also I know of someone that may have a F-model grill coming up for sale in the future.
