i can not beleive that a body shop would not give you an estimate to fix
it... if you could buy the single grill bars thats an easy fix....but all i
ever see is a complete grill asssembly in the parts books. LMC Trucks has it
in their catalog (crome grille lists at $699.95)and if you took the catalog to
a body shop im sure they can figure out the costs to repair your truck as all
the parts are listed for the front end. Sounds like a lot of money and if your
like me id hate to stick a fellow employee with those kinds of costs, if you
remeber he was willing to stick you with ALL the costs, but he was caught.
good luck
