front grill nipple

[cloneman315]

I took my grill of the truck today to clean and put Jamies carbon fiber piece on, and on each side on the lower corner I think i am missing like a nipple etc,looks like it locks the grill into the fender,anyone have a pic or part number on these?

I've seen some at the wrecking yard with bolts holding it in, or a plastic fastener. I've some some laying around, I'll try and grab a pic soon.

There are bolts that go through these holes from under the truck.

bolts?really I thought maybe a plastic piece

Re: front grill nipple

Bolts are used on 90 and older that have the metal under the 3-piece grill. The 91-up with the one-piece plastic grill has what I call a double christmas tree. It's like the fasteners that hold the splash shields to the inner wheel houses, except they go both ways.

Here they are.

enjoy,
Dave

Mine are broken off, found them when i did the corner markers few years back. The prev owners must have not realized they were there and just yanked the thing off.

They are the only thing i have to finish, then prime the cladding and it will be ready for paint.

The blind nuts & bolts that hold the coolant overflow bottle in place are the same. In case you have some old spares laying around.
