Almost all vendors carry them. Zip, Paragon, Corvette America, Doc Rebuild, Ecklers, etc. Like new condition used ones are very hard to find and cost almost as much as new. I settled for rough looking grills for less $$ and restored them myself when shopping for my 72.

My new GM units looked awful in 2 years, chrome and paint flaking off everywhere. Restored them with cast iron reconditioning paint and touched up the chrome with a silver paint pencil. After the restoration, they looked almost as good as when new. I think GM list was $280 each, with discount about $200. Doesn't matter now as both are discontinued. I understand that repros are available now, hopefully better quality than the original units. Sorry for the attitude, but the 70-72 grills are a pita to deal with.
