If it is any help, I have the engine radiator and tranny fluid radiator that was removed off Doc Hoover Sy with less than 2,000 miles use. You can have them both for $145 shipped to your door. That might be too cheap...might be too high. Just not sure but it is about what I have invested in them. Hope your truck is feeling better soon!

After searching, I noticed the GMC SYCLONE grille, is the same as the SONOMA grille? Right? Thanks ---

Sucks to see.

Just out of curiousity though, you have 3 vehicles that are fairly nice...well quite nice and you live in an apartment complex it looks like? No garage loving for them?

I am a manager/estimator at a body shop and here is what I know from expeience... Buy either new GM parts or used parts if you can. Try and stay away from aftermarket. If you do have to go aftermarket get a CAPA certified part. DO NOT SKIMP ON A CORE SUPPORT whatever you do. Buy a nice one. Used will be your best option.
The marker light and the turn signal are ok aftermarket as well as the grille. If you have to, get a CAPA fender and a nice cowl hood. Cheap body parts fit like a cheap cowl hood.

All the parts there are just S10/Sonoma/Sy/Ty besides the bumper cover and left front cladding.
The grill is 1991-1993 Sonoma 1991-1994 Jimmy.

Ill type you up a quick estimate before I leave work to give you a ballpark from what I see.

Re: Just got in an accident with the SY ---

Ok writing it up like you are Joe Blow off the street and paying full retail... It looks like about $3000. The core support is worth 8.8 hours. Most shops in Texas bill labor at $38/hr. We are also usually cheaper than most shops around.

Make sure you look at your remote oil filter setup. It could be damaged but is just a 4x4 S10 part.
If you have a stock airbox, it too is a stock S10 part (except the crossover tube is SyTy only).
The clutch fan is also a stock S10 part, but I dont think that should be damaged.
If your radiator is leaking, Im sure you A/C condensor is damaged as well. So you need an A/C evac and recharge.

I bought an aftermarket GMC grille for $29 new aftermarket for one of my trucks. So you can also save lots if you know where to shop.

Also, to have the front bumper cover cleaned up would probably mean painttime, and then it wouldnt match teh rest of the cladding unless you painted it as well.

I'll upload a PDF of the estimate just to give you an idea of what you COULD be looking at if you took it to a shop to have repaired.

only $3k...what??? Seems way too low. You can't get anything done around here for that.

$38/hr...damn, that's too cheap...raise those rates my friend. We pay double that!

$38 a hour? wayyyyyyyyyy to low. Shop here start at $65 and go up fast as hell. A dealership starts at $75 and for a Lexus or Acura dealership they start at $125
