Hows it going new to the forum...
20 year old cat looking for info to try and restore my new birthday gift i got in may from my brother!
Its a 1968 chevy c20 pickup..
fleetside longbed
Bought my first truck two years ago fresh out of high school.
it was a 64 chevy c10 shortbed stepside and boy do i regret selling it. but unfortunatly lost my job and sadly sold it a month too soon! (found a job the following month)
My brother had bought this 68 when he got back from boot camp from the army, last year!
We had a blast with it and him buying his second project 62 chevy c20
he gave me this one for my birthday in May!

Also i was wondering if anyone has every tried chroming the complete front grille rather then just the light bezels and molding?
Sort of how the grille on my truck is except in chrome?

If so any pictures, any stories, experiences trying!
Never seen it and kind of curious!
Im really considering it

Welcom from Las Vegas.. There are a few of us 67/72 guys here as well as other years...

As far as chroming the grill, I think it would look incomplete because the part of the fenders that is next to the grill section wouldn't match...

ive been told that..
ive also been told to partially dip the fenders and grind off what i dont need chromed and then put the chrome molding on around?
im sure there has been someone that has atleast thought of it besides me..
hopefully even tried and provide pics
