Cecil, I don't know where you'd find a grille cover since its been about 
25 years since I bought that one. The day I bought the truck used in 
December of 86 and it still had the 5.7 diesel engine I knew it needed a 
grille cover. The best shop back then was "Van Decor" for all kinds of 
after market accessories but I'm sure its history by now.
Yes, it would be nice to have 4 wheel drive for a work truck but I grew 
up having to make do with what we could afford. 4 Wd was pretty much 
unheard of then. We got by with 2 wheel drive, winter tires and a shovel 
in the trunk or truck box.
I guess I could afford a new one nowadays but I'm kinda stuck on the old 
stuff. The sound of that Olds engine is music to my ears. After this 
many years I know the truck inside out and thats worth something to me.
