Anybody seen one
 

I've seen the video's of it but have yet to see one in person on a truck are even a video of one on and working on a actual truck.

Does anybody have such a video are pictures of it on a actual truck?

I see a couple of pics in the "customer pics" tab, about 3/4 of the way down.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

Ha, I didn't even think to look. Thanks. Wished they had better pictures of them.:chevy:

Re: Anybody seen one
 

I haven't seen one, I didn't know they existed. It does seem like cool idea though.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

Those are pretty cool. I can see why you haven't seen any trucks with them. The price is pretty steep. But I really like seeing aftermarket parts still being made for our trucks

Re: Anybody seen one
 

Well, it's different. I think it would belong on a truck with all the modern gadgets thrown in it too.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

that is nice! i like it.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

It actually works, with the 67-68 Grille. :smoke:

Re: Anybody seen one
 

I like the kit to put the 68 grill in the 71-2

Re: Anybody seen one
 

Hey those look really nice!

Re: Anybody seen one
 

I think the non-hide-away 67/68 style grilles look even better than the hide-away version. Cool idea.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

yup, agreed

Re: Anybody seen one
 

If you paint the black part white... from a distance, it would almost look like a 67/68 with CST trim.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

Would those make your truck an R/S or an S/S?

Re: Anybody seen one
 

Hide-away stuff was an R/S option on Camaros.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

You know, after I watched the video on how it works, and looks live, I REALLY like that look for a 67-68.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

On that 67/68 style grill insert, would there be any reason you couldn't just cut the center bar out of a 69/70 grill surround and install it on one of those? Or do the 71/72 grill surrounds have mounting tabs in different locations? The $800 price is sort of tolerable, but if you have to add in the cost of a new 71/72 surround it gets pretty pricey for those of us with a 69/70 grill.

Re: Anybody seen one
 

I was considering the grille with out the hide-a-ways.
I called and asked if the surround came with the grille because I thought the picture might be misleading. It does NOT come with and surround. And yes, th ad is misleading in my opinion.
Spendy and then add in the cost of a replacement surround.
Pricing is a bit much but they look cool. It is one method to get the classic 67-68 look without changing the hood and fenders.
The doors on the hide-away open and close without and class in my opinion. Didn't like that part of it.

Or you could just buy a 67-68 , The last all metal grille truck Chevy made ? :lol:

Re: Anybody seen one
 

the hide away honestly looks like a charger grille to me. not sure why but that's what it reminds me of, as for the 67/68 grille in the 71/72 surround, it's nice but I just don't think that grille works without the slant nose of the 67/68.

At what point does your vintage truck stop actually being vintage?
