My '83 had those same hubcaps (and whitewalls) when I got it. It also broke off the little 'wing' on the grille.

Those Air Dam where used on the 1984/85 GNs. Seems like a lot of '83's had them, but I don't know it they were factory. (Mine wasn't).

Hahaha are they the ones i gave you ? This front bumper looks like it got hit in the pass side cause its pushed in. I'm gonna remove it & align the bumper brackets... Those fillers are ok for now

I swapped it with another grille.

Dam i figured that's what I have to do, i just took it out cleaned it up painted it & found an NOS piece but that tab to bolt it to is not there so man I'm stuck. That's what I really don't want to do is get another grill

That's a really nice 83. Please don't tear out the motor and trans! I wish I would have bought the 83 I was looking at years ago.
