all you are thinking of is a grille insert which goes behind the grille which is why they are so cheap. i don't think they would work on the op's truck

what do you mean by whole shell? do you mean a complete unmodified grille? depends on the amount of rust and where it is located. i used bondo over the wheel wells on my 91 and it worked fine but it was done by my dad who is a retired body man and the rust was not too bad.

As far as the fenders and wheel arches, mine were pretty much gone when I did the body work on my truck in the spring. Now its like 9 months later and no cracks or anything. I think it helped that I used that bondo hair crap underneath, and just a cosmetic layer of regular bondo.

Oh, and maybe you should try to get some more info on these grilles http://www.discountvantruck.com/truc...ruckgrills.htm
Once somebody does find a good one, I might have to spring for one too.
