Re: Swapped out grill today
I think it's a big improvement. My preferred Chevy grille is the 63. I always thought the GMC grille looked better on this series trucks than anything else Chevy offered.

Re: Swapped out grill today
Nice swap, I like the look of the GMC grille with the two headlights more than the single headlight one on my truck.
Ironically your truck is one of the ones I looked at and almost bought. Did you keep the keg gas tank? Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Swapped out grill today
I dig the black ang green. Some green and black pinstriping on that grille and bumper would be perfect.

Re: Swapped out grill today
I'm totally liking that grill with no head lights. Kind of like a 60's version of the NASCAR truck series.

lol, yes right now it has the keg gas tank in it still. He came down a lot from his asking price. so far I have replaced the hood, the grill, the seats, the heater core, the radiator, and picked up a new engine and transmission (going V8) Got almost 2500 total into it now Got both my girls out today for a quick ride ![]() ![]()

Re: Swapped out grill today
Now I could be wrong, but are the "fins" that stick out above and below the headlights different lengths to match the lines on the fenders or is it just the pic?
