International S1700-S1900 Grilles

Frequently Asked Questions About International S1700-S1900 Grilles

Will this grille fit my International S1700 or S1900 truck exactly, or do I need to check specific year ranges?

These grilles are designed to fit the International S1700 and S1900 series, but body style changes did occur across production years. Before ordering, compare the part number and mounting hole pattern against your existing grille, and check the fitment notes listed on the product page to confirm your specific model year and cab configuration are covered.

What material is the grille made from, and how does that affect durability?

Grilles in this category are typically made from steel or heavy duty plastic/composite material, depending on the specific listing. Steel grilles tend to hold up better against impacts and road debris but may require rust prevention care, while composite grilles resist corrosion but can be more prone to cracking under heavy impact. Check the product description for the exact material used before purchasing.

Does the grille come pre-painted, chrome plated, or unfinished?

Finish options vary by listing and may include unpainted, primed, chrome, or painted-to-match versions. If color matching your cab is important, check the product title and description carefully, as unfinished grilles will require paint work after installation to match your truck.

Can I install this grille myself, or does it require professional installation?

Most replacement grilles for the S1700-S1900 series are designed as direct bolt-on replacements using the factory mounting points, so many owners install them with basic hand tools. However, if your grille integrates with headlight brackets, hood latches, or trim pieces, take time to review how those components separate from the old grille before starting the swap.

Will this grille include mounting hardware, or do I need to reuse my old brackets and clips?

This depends on the specific product. Some grilles ship with new mounting hardware included, while others are sold as the grille panel only, expecting you to reuse your existing brackets, clips, or trim. Always check the "what's included" section of the listing so you know ahead of time whether you'll need to source additional hardware.
