Thats awesome, now thats different! They also make them for the same year of trucks with a 67-72 front clip that i think looks better. (thanks joe)

Theres a guy around here with a front conversion on his 89+. Its like a 40s-50s deal. Its ugly as homade sin, but hey, its not my truck lol

bird7263 · 11-19-2008, 05:53 PM

Truck of one of those show on spike tv or Speed did a conversion on a Tahoe. Made it look like an old burb or carry all. Kinda cool I guess. But still not the same thing as the old ones. Look it up. I think you can buy the episode in which they did it.

scotts62 · 11-19-2008, 06:12 PM

Yeah think i remember seeing that one.

ya i agree the 50's ones on those trucks area little ugly.

TylerHuff · 11-19-2008, 11:04 PM

hideous is the only word to describe those kits

Slmd92DIME · 11-19-2008, 11:08 PM

to each his own. I personally dont care for them though. I am sure it would turn some heads though

*LILRED66* · 11-19-2008, 11:17 PM

Good source for fiberglass front clips...I wonder if they will work on a 4-5-6 Chevy truck or are they specific to the year, make and models listed?

19GMC63 · 11-19-2008, 11:20 PM

I hate those damn things. The worst one i've seen was a early stude front end for a late 80s/90s-ish t-bird.... dreadfull.

TimE · 11-20-2008, 12:26 AM

Hey Scott!! You could buy one of these to go on your white fleet!!

502tripower · 11-20-2008, 12:35 AM

kind of reminds me of the VW's with a 37-40 front end...

STL_66 Chevy · 11-20-2008, 02:23 AM

sorry about the link... i didnt check it i just copied and pasted it and it must have been wrong on the page i found it.

i dont think to would work as a replacement front clip... if you look towards the back of the hood the sharp body lines flatten out and become rounded.

personally i think the thing is hideous! i just thought it was interesting... i would rather drive an original 60's truck.

You learn something new everyday, hopefully I will not remember this lesson. To each his own, but no way could i do it. To bad it does not fit the real deal... Chris..

jason65 · 11-20-2008, 09:15 AM

I'd put the 65 front and tail lights on my wifes tahoe. I'd like it. She would try to smack me sobar
