'94-up Dodge grill insert in a GMC grill - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tim 6768 · 09-29-2002, 09:00 PM

A while back someone posted about & posted pictures of a '70 to '72 GMC truck that he or someone had modified the mesh grill insert(s) from a '94-up Dodge RAM and installed them into the stock GMC grill openings. I can't find that post. Will someone please repost those pictures and share any infomation about this modification. I thought it looked sharp and was telling a family friend about it today. He's got a '68 GMC 1/2 ton LWB and drives a late-'90s Dodge RAM, Company truck.

yeah i wish i could remember who that was too. i bought the inserts when i was at a junkyard, actually they gave them to me cuz i bought the seat out of the same pickup. i was going to put them in mine but decided to wait untill i get a not rusty grill. good luck, Ben

I'm just curious too. Is that a chevy bumber? GMC had recesses for the marker lights.

Jwill41 · 10-05-2002, 09:27 PM

that looks just like the bumper on my 67 gmc.

Longhorn Man · 10-05-2002, 11:22 PM

I've heard a few ppl say that there '67's had the Chevy bumper, but others say it is BS.
But that doesn't matter since it has a 69/70 grill...also a 71/72 Chevy hood.

**68 Stepside** · 10-06-2002, 08:52 PM

Well shoot......I was just going through all my pics, and found the shots....

Story of my life, a day late (or more), and a dollar short.

The pic that's posted shows the inserts better than the other 2 that I have, so there you go.

Benrs86 · 10-06-2002, 09:00 PM
