Upper grill molding?

Longhorn Man · 11-25-2008, 04:38 PM

67/68 GMC grill molding, not repro'd as far as I know.

Ackattack · 11-25-2008, 04:41 PM

I just gave one of those away with a grill. Might want to try to PM LivRat (I think that's what he goes by) and he might be able to pull it out and ship it to you if you can't find one locally (he was going to take a bunch of metal to the recycler....so it may be gone)

nicolas72gmc · 11-25-2008, 04:48 PM

thanks dudes.

mbgmike · 11-25-2008, 07:14 PM

The upper grill moulding for GMC's are reproduced $129.00 from us but not the 67/68's

I've got one. It's not perfect and has a little rust but is certainly better then starting from scratch.

*Puropedo* · 11-26-2008, 12:10 AM

I've got one of those as well, has some rot but nothing that can't be fixed
I would think it will be pretty hard to make one from scratch.

PM Livrat. Even if he scraped the one from Ackattack, he probably has more.

Thanks dude. Yeah that is what I need for my conversion. BTW-- I love that truck!

nicolas72gmc · 11-26-2008, 01:32 AM

Sorry we do not have the correct tooling to make moulding. There are alot of things we can make but moulding is not one of them. We would have to make it out of solid aluminum and it would be costly. It would be less expnesive to keep looking for one and get it reconditioned.

68GMCCustom · 11-26-2008, 03:33 PM

I wouldn't call the '67-'68 piece "moulding". It's formed steel with end brackets...and painted body color.

Isn't that what molding is? Formed or shaped (insert material here)?
