Front End Opinions Please

I'm Getting ready to paint my truck and I'm considering maybe adding something to the front of my truck, my options are a billet grille or maybe painting the inner grille to match the truck. any input on which would look better? or should i just leave it the way it is? oh yea I might even lose that big fancy air freshner too lol

no billet. no painted grille. just add outer bumper bolts and call it good.

what about clear park lights

If you must paint the grill, I would do a flat black, or dark charcoal...clear parking lights are cool... but other than that it looks real nice... why are you painting the truck?

Yes! Clear park lights!
I even like the air freshener...now find vanilla in blue. :lol:

Great looking truck!!
Hope you keep the color; looks like medium blue poly from '68...my personal favorite!

I like it the way it is. Previous owner of my 71 did the all black route up front. Now I have to change it all back like yours so it will have the classic good looks again.

Clear parking lights are for ricers, blech...Sorry Ellen :lol:

I think it looks great the way it is... I'd leave it. If you had to change it, I would go black but, then again. I'm a little biased. ;)

Black grill and clear lights, not stock but does give the truck an attitude.:chevy:

retselgerg; It ain't broke, so don't fix it;) You got a NICE truck. Just keep as is and roll on down the road.
Of course, I'm not into the whole Bling-Clear this or Bling-Clear that. I'm just into CLEAN looking trucks.

Nice and clean truck. Just please try not to go GHETTO:aiiet::dohh::puke:

Looks great as-is. I like the blacked out grille look, it reminds me of the 67-69 Camaro.

Whatever you do DO NOT chop the top. Choptops are fuggin ugly :D

It does look very nice the way it is!! Flat black to match the headlight surrounds looks awesome on C10-Driver's ride too. Deleting the bowtie would be a toss up. Clear markers would look nice because they'd blend into the bumper & not be so obvious. The bumper bolts are a detail that it really needs.

Agree on the color - hope you keep it because it's very striking & a clean look.

You Photoshop guys rock!

As for the grill, I too like it as is.

Great photo shop by the way....Yea i was leaning towards the painted version but i think i will leave it as is, I suppose the late model stepside will differ the truck enough....so i guess the classic looking front end will keep the truck balanced
