No no, it's real. Was at a car show this past weekend in Corsicana, TX, south of Dallas on I 45.

Re: Take look at this front end.

I know. It looks like a really nice truck too, otherwise. I mean you spent all the time and money, why not just get a repop front end? To each his own I guess.

What's sad is that the "original" grill IS there, it's been cut all to heck.

It's really no big deal. If I bought that truck... 68 clip baby!

Re: Take look at this front end.

also, notice how the upper slat of the grill has been bent down to follow the contours of the original grill and give a nice clean, finished look. attention to details... good job.
