Re: finally...made a few changes
Since you asked...I like the old one better. NICE truck regardless (I really like it), but I am tired of the 88+ clip swaps on 87 down trucks.

Re: finally...made a few changes
I plan on keeping my 86 grill, might put a phantom grill on it though, depends on how I like it when its all said and done.

Re: finally...made a few changes
I like them both. I like the headlights better on the newer front end.

Re: finally...made a few changes
I like the grille in the top pic...but the other doesn't look bad at all either. Looking good, keep up what you are doing. I can't wait to lower mine. make sure and give us some lowered pics when you get it done.

Re: finally...made a few changes
The truck is coming along nicely. But I do for some reason think the Chevy grill would just "fit" better. The nice thing is that there are a handfull of guys on here looking for the GMC set up. So you should be able to do some trading of parts to get a Chevy one if you so decide. Keep at it man! It is gonna be sweet to see what you do with this truck.

Re: finally...made a few changes
I prefer the GMC grille. I just like the larger opening.
So if you change it out, I want the GMC one ![]() E |

Re: finally...made a few changes
You know, I have brand new lenses in mine and it makes a world of difference that I just noticed. Here is mine for a quick comparison.
