I have a 74 chevy im not a fan of the round eyed front end

Post 70 or 71
the green chevy
i would keep my front end if i could do that to my truck
It looks like my front end by the hood indents
is that like an adapter or custom made?
I want that type of grill that goes all the way across like that one
and hides the light and other thing
i want to know if anybodys ever modified the 74's front grill to take like a 80's grill
if it cant be done i might just switch the front end out
and keep my 74 front put away
im not to sure yet
any suggestions?

Me too HotRodScottsdale
Ive always wanted the phantom grill
i wonder if anybody has ever incorporated the 80's phantom frill
into a round eyed like ours?

I might just get the 80's buckets and do it like in the pic

Awwww dammit I just looked at the buckets to cut for the phantom grill and they have the turn signals built into them and on my truck it's two pieces for the headlight and signal, dose that mean I have to take out that metal strip that holds my signals and get a new one?

If your going to put in a phantom grill, then you might as well swap your 74 clip for 80s clip.
