69 sub with 72 front clip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigstew · 01-05-2005, 11:29 AM

the 69 i just bought has the 72 grill and bumper. i dont mind the 72 clip but kinda wanted to keep it a little bit original. does anybody have a 69 clip they would want to trade? i can probably email pics, ive tried to post pics on here and my computer wont let me. if not where could i find the custom grills that cover the entire front end(headlights).ive seen them before and thought they looked pretty cool. im in SE kansas, is anyone close? as far as i know there are only 2 classic subs around here and i have one of them.

did you ever find the clip for a 69? I hope to buy one this week from insurance salvage, it is a 69, but i prefer the 72 front, so if you have not made a deal, let me know and i would swap you, that is if I get the deal. i am an hour north of wichita and would come get it since i have in laws down in Iola. Are you close there? don't happen to know where i can snag a 3/4 ton suburb frame around there?

i have already done the swap. i just thought it looked kinda stupid with the big emblem on the front of the hood and with big emblem in the middle of the 72 grill.
