looks like it might actually be a nice body on it.

With the exception of that ugly grill.

[1LoC10]

yeah i was thinking that too.. i wouldnt mind having a nice little stake truck to cruise around

[mahanian]

It hurts my eyes to look at that thing!

You can have any metal part gold plated. not different than chrome, just alot more expensive..

[ed2552]

I think that would look horrible, but then again I went to Iowa State University and I loathe the black and gold of university of iowa

that is the ultra rare G-OLD package that only came on the rare corvette super six equiped truck that was made for one day in 1970.

I take offense to that! No self respecting redneck would put a gold grill on their truck

Ya, but I think there are plenty of non-self respecting rednecks out there that would.

This grill doesn't look as gaudy:

...not mine. I just found it while surfing craigslist (it's been posted here before).

And hopefully the last...

[Boog]

Is that someone's idea of a 1970 Golden Anniversary edition?

[lts70]

I wonder if you could anodize grills all the different colors they do aluminum fittings? I have seen gold, red, and blue. I wonder if that is how he did his grill.

[Longhorn Man]

it's probably gold anodized.

Kinda agree with Dino... it would look good on the right truck in the right paint color, like the black or red '57s Bel Air's with the gold badging

[HoupPhotography]

I think it would be as cool as hot chicks ...... off and on the floor

my .02, they did a fantastic job with gold spray paint

It does appear to be gold anodized.The factory clear anodized them.Other colors could be done,but lets not go there.In the`80s that stuff went wild,then went out of style.Some things are better left well enough alone.It`s funny how,of all places,this was done on this particular truck.It appears to be a shortbed,which is unusual seen as a stake body.The body appears to be newer,if not new.That`s a good bit of money.Can`t haul alot in those racks.No other attempt to gussy it up as far as wheels or even chrome hubcaps,bumper,or grille.Then,a gold anondized grille?I`ll bet bucks that this is a truck from a plating/coatings business or a guy that works there and done just because he could.
