Replacement Mounting Hardware For A Westin Sportsman Grille Guard On A 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Question:

I purchased a westin grille guard from a private seller, it came off of a 2003-2006 chevy silverado 1500. I am installing it on a 2005 chevy silverado 2500hd, the upper brackets seem to work but the lower ones do not. I am having trouble finding it because this grille has a single mount hole at the bottom. Which replacement set of brackets do i need?

It appears that you have the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard 45-1170, in which you will need the:

-Replacement Hardware Kit for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-117PK

However since this grille guard came off of a 1500 model Silverado, it is not going to be compatible with your 2500, unfortunately.

Instead, what you'd need to do is look for a grille guard that is made for your truck like the:

-Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-1245.

This grille guard is confirmed to fit your truck, is almost identical to what you currently have and includes all the mounting hardware and mounting brackets for installation.
