Was it possible to get a pignose from the dealer on a 1983 Cherokee Laredo? Mine had one on it when I got it and the previous owner said it was on when he bought it in 1996. Just trying to restore me car to 100% factory on the body

So the pignose has been on it since 1996 at least.
Also doesn't the muscle have different tabs at the bottom, or require a couple of holes drilled?Last edited by kansasboy001; 12-05-2017, 07:28 AM.1983 Cherokee Laredo. 360/ 727/ np228/ Junkyard 7427 TBI/ Msd ignition

I'd take a close look @ valance specifically evidence of repaint & color change/replaced sheetmetal?
Also look @ the lower mounting brackets for pignose grille.
A pignose valance will be/is different than a late model valance.
What does the hood release lever look like?
I'd venture a guess possible collision damage, and easier/cheaper to locate/use pignose parts vs. muscle grille parts?

Everything I can see on my car points to it being factory, but I've never seen or heard of another 83 having it.1983 Cherokee Laredo. 360/ 727/ np228/ Junkyard 7427 TBI/ Msd ignition

A quality auto body repair would be to replicate factory finish.
*if* valance was replaced from damage they would obviously try to replicate factory procedures etc.
If done correctly it would be very difficult to distinguish from original.
sometimes it takes sanding a small hidden area to look for previous work.Tony
