Nice find.  GM charges over $120 from GMPartsdirect.com.  I don't know if thats the exact piece, but I may get one of those just so I have it.

Uhh.. Neither of those look like the B4M valence. The SE one is completely different. The pictures on their site aren't much help, but just by looking at it, it's not even the right shape.

Agreed, the "SE" valence there listed for $56 through GMpartdirect using the OEM number listed on that site...not the same. :oops:

At GM parts direct the p/n is 12522768.
It is for 91-93 B4U.
That is the replacement for the TGP.
IIRC it was about $140 delivered to me.

Ummm, Panel-Bumper-Valance, yea that's it!!  :lol:
GM (any automan) has a lot of parts to stock so someone has to be creative with the descriptions, some not as clear as this one even  :evil:.  They also have to limit the length of the description to fit on their tags/labels, still makes it hard to know all these pseudo-acronyms  :P

Prospeeder, this is the same part number for the same part on the 1989-90 TGP.  You don't have one yet? :lol:   Yes, get it painted, but you have to order it first :P

Maybe some of us only have one car and don't have a choice when to drive it?

My dad bought his TGP for the sole purpose of being his winter beater.  It was rust free, and had low mileage, dent free, spotless car.  The previous owners all garaged it and it had never seen snow.  But, its just that his TGP isn't nearly as nice as his other car and it was only $1500, so driving it in the winter is no big deal.
