In the beginning there was a 69 party (eyebrows up)

I really liked the Get Shorty grille and hood combo for the CCT build, but once they chromed the bars and added the head lights, it ruined it. (http://www.customclassictrucks.com/t.../photo_01.html)

With all that, I must say the 67-68 front clip hold true to the sleek and beauty these trucks can show. With the dash being completely different with a steady flowing body line, I think the 67-68 clip will prove to be better. (This is why i am changing mine back to a 68 clip)

I'm not saying that a 69-72 front end is horrible, just don't think it will flow right with the you smoothing everything.

Sorry for the ramble....

I agree with you 100%. The 67-68 is a much better look hands down. I've got some pondering to do. Thanks for the input it is very appreciated.

I'm a big fan of the get shorty build. There are cues that drive me nuts about the over all look but at the same time. I like looking at it... Its crazy.
