Craigslist is your best bet. I wish I could help you more but most companies don't make parts for our trucks anymore. MOST grille guards can be made to fit if you make custom brackets for it (in my opinion difficulty 3 or 4/10 ) so keep that in mind that if you find a good deal on one, even if it for an old chevy, go take a look, see how the guard lines up with your bumper, and if it lines up good. Fab up some brackets

Unfortunately custom work is one of the only ways to get a LOT of things for these trucks

I just got mine off Craigslist last week. It's made to go on a Chevy but it lines up great. And for $80 I couldn't pass it up. Made custom mounts out of piece if angle iron. Wasn't very difficult just had to keep measuring to get everything lined up. Just put lights on it tonight

Look up JCWhitney. They are about the only place that sells one specifically for the '87-91. It's 140 bucks plus shipping
