1971 Billet Grill Bowtie??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

anthony_1269 · 05-20-2003, 01:55 PM

Hello everyone. I have a 71 Chevy fleetside p/u with a billet grill. I have seen others with my style of billet grill, but the difference is that they have a bowtie, looks like billet, in the center of their grill. Does anyone know where I can get one of these billet bowties that will fit my billet grill? I have seen some, but say will only fit S-10, 98-00, etc, basically newer trucks. Thanks!

Thats the one 88/90 body style. Then make your own backing plate.

here is a picture of mine,if it helps you any,it may be to dark,but I had one from a 89 model truck I had,and it fits perfect,as NSANE68 said you will have to make a backing plate.

Where did you get the bowtie?

MR. GOODWRENCH · 05-20-2003, 09:15 PM

It came from stylin concepts,I think it was around 26.00,but you can get polished or brushed finish,the polished will be more maybe 30.00,in my opinion a billet grill by itself looks to plain,I think a bowtie helps a 69-72 billet grill look better,but thats just me.
