She says it looks liek a farm truck now. :( - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had to remove the twisted grill so could do something else in there, and I decided to install the white grill I painted a while back.
I figured since I had a straight one with no shine, and a lightly damaged one with no shine, and a totally kerfagled one with a tiny bit of shine left...I figured I'd paint the almost straight one, and see if this kid from work can get the straight one re-chromed for me. (He claims to have 'connections')
So whats the consensis?
Does it look like a farm truck now?

TODDS 72 · 06-23-2003, 06:48 PM

Andy...I can smell the hay seed from here...LOL! Hey looks good though. You could always to monochrome and paint it red to match the truck. Black looks threatening and mysterious...it's only a rattle can and a little sand paper!

*Shane* · 06-23-2003, 08:06 PM

"Old McDonald had a farm ... .E-I ... E-I ... OOOO!

**Canadian694x4** · 06-23-2003, 08:09 PM

Hey I think it looks great as your "sub" till the "connections" produce a Chromed Grille...

**Palf70Step** · 06-23-2003, 08:13 PM

From one farm truck owner to another Andy....Now all we need is a farm!

*racedvl* · 06-23-2003, 08:15 PM

toms68cst · 06-23-2003, 08:21 PM

So, WHAT'S WRONG WITH FARM TRUCKS???

krue · 06-23-2003, 08:39 PM

Yeah, what is wrong with a farm truck?

Project1970 · 06-23-2003, 08:54 PM

Looks like a farm truck...supposedly that's not too far off what the '68 my mom's family had - on their dairy farm - before they got my '70!

Nothing wrong with it, except you oughta chrome that one too.

ginter · 06-23-2003, 10:25 PM

GMC grills need to be chromed IMHO. But it doesn't look too bad.

Farm truck? Maybe....

Mooo

Blue_71 · 06-23-2003, 10:31 PM

another farm truck

(literly, gooseneck ball and all)

krue · 06-23-2003, 10:58 PM

Mine was a farm truck with goose neck ball on a home made mount and toolboxes!

lukecp · 06-23-2003, 11:09 PM

Looks pretty good to me

.

A guy in town used to have a '67 GMC SWB step-side truck. The truck was painted completley red, except for the grille was painted black, both bumpers were black, and it had large 3/4 ton mirrors on it (the kind that attach both below and above the window glass). It looked pretty sweet IMO. It had a 454 under the hood, so it backed up it's aggressive looks pretty well.

krazy_texan · 06-23-2003, 11:50 PM

mine is going to be a farm truck when finished, going to be orange with white cab top, 2 inch lift diamand plate running boards, clearance lights, headach rack and last but not least 71 texas farm truck plates and big mirrors

1969 GMC · 06-24-2003, 12:28 AM

i think GMC grilles look good in white or chrome. that looks pretty sharp. I guess my truck is a "beauty-fied" farm truck, as it was just used on a farm as a farm implement, to pull/push/carry stuff (according to the p/o)

dat · 06-24-2003, 10:54 AM

Nothing wrong with farm trucks, but that's too clean for one. It needs a few bugs and some hay or grass sticking out the front and some dents and dings in there... Maybe some electrical tape wrapped around one of the lights.

rambler · 06-24-2003, 11:10 AM

LOL,, my truck right now IS a farm truck,, I'll be using it to pull a hay trailer this weekend when I bale hay. When I get my 67 up and running my 72, will then be all "prettied up"
