I scored a 65 grill today for 27.00 from Pick A Part.

Now I have to sell that GMC grill, and those head light buckets I restored. Any takers for the buckets? $60.00 plus shipping and they can be yours. I also have the mounts that attaches them to the grill support.
Make me an offer if your interested in the chrome GMC grill. It has some small dents in it but looks good for a driver.

joe231 · 06-04-2009, 10:45 PM

what do you want for the grill? I think I can use a piece of it to fix ours....

You are the Man. The more I think about it the more I want to bag it and drag it. When I first bought my truck I did'nt really care for the lowered look now I love it. I talked myself into buying a bolt on notch kit but now I'm thinking I want what's in your pictures. You have to make the notch thing right. I was hoping I could just buy one. I don't think my welding skills are good enough to build that. How do you know what size to make it?

Alan's Classic · 06-05-2009, 12:01 AM

Man, I wish I could take a leave of abscense and come out there and learn about lowering. Nice work.

daverod · 06-05-2009, 12:13 AM

ya you want to drag it to huh. It's not to late well maybe it is. That older truck would be the one to drag.

It depends on the size of your wheels. You have to do a lot of measuring if your doing a custom notch. You have to consider ride height, and slammed on the ground. I'm going to use a monster notch for a 73 frame.
This is like the one I'll use, but your frame is different.

I can get one like this when your ready, and anything else you need. This is the one you will need.

Thanks Allan. I don't do much air bags, or lowering lately. But any time you want to visit and shoot the sh*t just let me know. Also, remember we do have computers to communicate.

1964C10 · 06-05-2009, 05:07 PM

Any takers on the grille yet?

joe231 · 06-05-2009, 05:21 PM

sorry, i think we got confused.....I was asking about the speaker grill, not the GMC grill.....50 bones plus shipping is a steal on the GMC grill

1964C10 · 06-05-2009, 05:23 PM

That's why I was wondering, I would love to have the grille and refinished buckets!

Do you have a GMC? I found out the GMC grill does not work with a Chevy grill support. That's why I changed to a Chevy grill.

1964C10 · 06-05-2009, 08:12 PM

I have a 64 Chevy C10. How much did not work? Was it fitment? mounting? could something be fabed up relatively easy? Sorry for the questions.

what was the fitment issue? we had a gmc grill on our '66 Chevy, pulled it off and bolted a chrome 4-5-6 Chevy grill in the same holes, no mods needed.....

JOE'S QUOTE what was the fitment issue? we had a gmc grill on our '66 Chevy, pulled it off and bolted a chrome 4-5-6 Chevy grill in the same holes, no mods needed.....

First off the whole grill stuck out too far with a big space behind it. It looked like crap. I don't know what year GMC it was from, but to make it look better it would take too much fabricating. I looked at a GMC grill support, and it was different from my 65 Chevy support. I rather put my efforts else ware. And there's plenty of them ahead for me.

joe231 · 06-05-2009, 10:42 PM

yeah, it must have something to do with the different years of the GMC's....

That's all I can think of too. Maybe it was from an early year.

Strodder · 06-26-2009, 11:40 AM

I haven't had much time for my truck, but made some nice progress on the 65 Studebaker Lark. I promise to get more work on mine soon. That's funny I feel guilty because I'm not getting much done because of you guys. Keep up the good work.

The frame is painted with POR-15 and with a BRUSH. It dries really slow, and it looks like powder coating. Beware though. Dirt will settle in it because it drys so slow. I wish I had a paint booth.

It still looks great

I only cleaned and painted to the X Member. That's what the customer wanted. He will have his guys do the rest (He owne's a Body Shop) It took me 3 days to get the frame down to bare metal & prep it before I painted it.

4dranch · 06-26-2009, 12:14 PM

Nice work Dennis....Where is the dirt coming from? Your shop looks to be "eat off the floor clean.."
