 Topic: 510 or 520 Grill?Posted: 06 January 2006 at 7:28pm |

I bought this off ebay and when it arrived it looks alot different than my truck grill which this is supposed to be...
Is it from a 510 or a 520? Is it worth keeping or should I send it back and get what I need?
it's perfectly straight but needs a good polishing...cost me a pretty penny...what do you guys think? |

The question is does it FIT. There were 3 versions of 521 grilles depending on year. 510 grilles are wider than 521 ones, and 520 ones (4-headlight) are significantly narrower (2-headlight 520 ones are far different).
