Looking for Chrome fender grills/egg crates for a 71. Does anybody produce replacements ?

 

No, they are not and never have been reproduced. Your only options are finding good used ones or restoring yours.

Be aware that the 70 egg crates are slightly different than 71-72's. 71-72 egg crates have raised chrome horizontal and vertical ribs. The 70 egg crates don't have the 4 raised vertical ribs, just the 3 horizontal ones and the main one that wraps around the perimeter. Early 71's may have also used the 70 egg crate too.

 

Much appreciated detail!

 

-All of the stock egg-crate grills are flash-chrome plated. Then the paint is added...except for the top of the ribs. Paint stripper will turn any stock grill into a chrome-plated one.

 

Thank you Again!

 

Here’s a link to a thread that really shows the visual differences as explained:
