A or B?

Which do you guys like better a or b? I think the grill is a little too redneck for me in the first picture (no offense intended to the rednecks of the board )

B for sure Adam. Is that the one I sent you? How did it arrive, you like it?

I see you put later model clear front signals in...I am doing the same. I didn't care for the amber ones...they drew too much attention and took away from the rest of the front end.

Is it, I was just about to send you a pm and tell you that I think it looked awesome. Thanks, it arrived perfect, actually a little better than I though it would look. Did the relay work out?

Aside from being a little faded and dirty...the grill is in excellent condition, especially for being 30+ years old.

The relay will work, but I haven't had a chance to use it quite yet. My garage is not heated (so I can't physically work on it much), and due to the upcoming wedding, money is real tight right now. I won't be getting much done on Yeller until June more than likely.

I'd go w/the billet grille and clear signals...I like the 73-74 grille but the tube grilles look really good on these trucks IMO.

I'm going on my own here. I would go with a round tube grille and clear lights. Now if I could find one for my truck I'd be all set.

reckon I gotta go with the 'redneck' option. But use the clear turnsignal covers...I think it just looks slick.
