Re: 65 gmc
I have to agree with the majority, of course i'm not partial or anything--LOL
That's a cool truck, Truckin'! What year GMC is that? The grille in the 62 I just got looks pretty much the same, xcept being bashed and rusted. Of course the windshield layout is different. Later---DAC

Re: 65 gmc
Oh, no, these guys have it all wrong.
You should definitely change the grill. Then send me all your old grill parts. |
