old Style Front Clip
 

Anyone know where the website is that you can buy an old style front clip to make our trucks look like a classic pick up ? I saw it once many years ago

It was a fibreglass tilt front end that fit on new chev pick ups,Not sure if it was a 70,s or 40,s conversion but it gave you nostalagia with all the modern comforts of new technology

40,s or 50,s I could live with but that 60,s is just wrong

Re: old Style Front Clip
 

Used to be one that I remember seeing in '01-02 that was the AD (47-53) style, and it used an '88-98 as the basis. Should be the same folks that had the Double-Bubble Pontoon hooded 60-61 hood.

Yeah those big rallies look real good, I'm sure Vintage Wheels has those too.

Those people, especially the girl, are really tall! For her to be able to stand and put out her arm onto the hood of a Peterbilt....wow! Wait, is that a Kenworth? Either way....she is tall! Back in the 70's, I remember a conversion for the Square Body GM trucks to make them look like a baby Kenworth or Peterbilt....don't remember which one it was supposed to resemble. But, that was two body styles ago...

As for the wheels on that red retro-ride, they're just chrome rallyes with police caps. I have some that are red powder-coated and wearing the same caps, with the hot rod style (narrow) on my '69.

Heres the Pete, same company just started offering these also. Better than the KW I think.

Those are kind of cool. Defintely something different.

Re: old Style Front Clip
 

So has no one here ever built one of these? It's crazy that even a google image search doesn't bring up anything but the original truck from Newstalgia. I guess nobody posted pics of them from shows and such. I have only seen one in person. It was still in primer and sitting beside a mobile home. I only caught a glimpse of it but instantly knew what it was. I would like to have one ( not bad enough to pay $2k) to play with. I think if you cut the glass grille out and fabricated it to accept a factory chrome grille it would look better.

That kind of sweater makes her look taller :ito:
