Can't find replacement trim around grill


Recommended Posts

Looking for the tin trim that goes all the way around the grill and headlights. My truck has is all and I could get it straitened and repainted. But I'd really like to find a new chrome plated set. 1988 if it matters.

Any ideas of sources?

Part of my search difficulty is I don't even know the proper name to look for.

They’re just trim pieces. Problem is in 91 Chrysler switched over to a three piece set up. So you can either use the three piece of ask someone to snag those trim pieces from a junk yard Cherokee or Comanche from 84-90

If I remember right, you can't use the 91 and newer headlight buckets on the 90 and older header panel.  The header panel is shaped just a little differently in the turn signal area, interfering with proper fit.  Or it might be the other way around, can't use the older two piece headlight buckets on the newer header panel, I can't remember which.

 

The real problem with the older setup is the upper and lower metal trim pieces.  As far as I know they are only available used, and getting harder to find in good shape in the junkyards.
