Real Customer Feedback

“I run a small bus restoration shop, and we installed this grille on a 1985 GMC Coach. The no-logo design was exactly what we needed because we paint all our grilles body color. Fitment was spot-on, and the steel feels much thicker than the original plastic piece. Honestly, the only minor downside is that the edges are sharp out of the box – we recommend wearing gloves during installation. Overall, a solid product that saved us time fabricating a custom piece.”

FAQ

Will this grille fit my 1987 Blue Bird bus?

This grille is designed for a wide range of vintage passenger buses (1970-1995) including GM, Blue Bird, and Thomas models. We recommend measuring your existing grille opening: width must be 48.5 inches and height 18.0 inches. The bolt pattern is 8 holes spaced evenly across the top and bottom flanges. If your measurements match, it will fit.

Can I paint this grille?

Yes. The grille comes with a black e-coat primer that is fully paintable. Lightly sand the surface with 400-grit sandpaper, clean with degreaser, and apply any automotive-grade paint. No additional primer is needed.

Does it include mounting hardware?

Yes. All necessary bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts are included. You will need a 9-16 inch socket and wrench for installation.

Is the grille weather-resistant?

Yes. The e-coat finish provides excellent corrosion resistance. The steel is treated to withstand rain, snow, and UV exposure without rusting or fading for several years under normal use.

What if my bus has a different bolt pattern?

This grille uses a standard 8-hole pattern with 0.5 inch diameter holes. If your bus uses a different pattern, you may need to drill new holes. The steel is drillable with a standard high-speed steel bit.
