Do some online research from places like GMPARTSDIRECT or PARTSTAXI (I'm not recommending you buy from the former) and similar sites.

Then contact Gene or Patrick at GMPARTSHOUSE. They actually answer the phone. And they will price match...

I just bought one from them a couple of weeks ago. You will get prompt courteous service.

You've definitely got to know the proper terminology to find the right parts.

I spent 5 years as a GM parts man back in the late 70s. 90% of the battle was knowing what GM called it then what group# it was in. This was before computers and punching in the VIN.

Hi Garrddogg,
After you get your new Skid Plate/ Lower Radiator Support you might want to protect it with a pair of Fangs. We have a sale on them. Here is a link if you are interested.
