Pics with the new bumper??? Chrome sport I know, the only other option is a painted sport. :metal:

I thought you had a stash of buckets to choose from, but it would appear you've had plenty of opportunities to use them before! Ha! No wonder I can't find a 72 short wide.... :lol:
Jocko you might want or not want to see this. :lol:.....there's no shame in my game.;)

The original glass is clear, the factory tint has a greenish color to it. Here some pics of factory tinted glass...also called soft ray.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 
thanks shawno - so I'm a LITTLE confused (sorry)

I thought ALL factory glass was "tinted" green. Are you saying that you could get non-green clear glass OR could order factory tinted soft-ray? (if so, then I am no longer confused).

Thank you.

Correct. Soft Ray (tinted) was the option, but usually always found on a/c trucks. My truck has clear glass but the pics I posted are what I plan to install.

Alright here's more of my wife's work and I took her to dinner after she finished,:lol: not only does she paint license plates she also can paint grills, she really did a fantastic job on the Chevrolet letters. Oh BTW the back bumper is gone! Mike (mcbassin) the first picture is for you. ;)

The grill looks absolutely 100% better. Once again your wife does great work. I hope you took her somewhere nice to eat and not Taco Bell.

Yeah not to shabby, I might end up leaving it a 70' after all. :lol: Shawn is Applebee's good enough, I've never taken anyone in my life to :puke:tacobell yuk. :lol:

Applebee's is good. I tend to agree on Taco bell but my kids love it. I don't they realize that their "hamburger meat" is not really meat.

That grill looks Awesome! Your wife is a KEEPER! Thanks for getting me some more pics to add to my collection. If you get tired of this ride let me know. I would love to own it. Fly-in Drive home:) J/K but I would love to have it.

Taco Smell has cold cheese. What's up wit dat? I always knew you were an Applebee's kinda guy. They melt their cheese.

This truck keeps getting better!
The grille looks sweet.
I'm glad it also has the correct black 69-70 headlight bezels.
I hate the stainless 71-72 bezels in the 69-70 trucks.
(Just the way I am,... ha.)
Can you have her touch up the '70-only "silver highlights" on the inner grille?
J/K

Keith,
The paint scheme is the only difference between the 69 and 70 correct? I thought for some reason the egg crate design is just a little different. I own both btw but they are faded so I never could see a noticible difference.
I hate the stainless headlamp bezels on 69-70 too. I'm getting old
