Hi Brad,
The vertical grille nose can be had from classic truck suppliers for about
$80 plus shipping. Assumming that you can beat the dents out of the bottom
piece, the primer and paint will cost in the neighborhood of $200 to $250.
Then you have to figure your labor.
If you haven't done any body work before, this is probably not the time to
learn. There is nothing particularly hard about working on one of these
grilles for a body shop. Everything comes apart pretty easy, except for
some rivets in the center section, which have to be drilled out. There
ought to be a local body shop which can do this. If they tell you they
don't know where to begin, you definately don't want them anywhere near your
truck. Keep looking.
Regards,
Grant S.
