Re: Let's see '70 front ends
Here is mine. I did just change the headlights though...to those new clear ones.

Very Interesting...did anybody notice the difference between the (Chevrolet) text size and placement between these two grills...I did and had to keep looking at it...
It is most noticeable in the spacing at the ends near the turn signals... 70LongbedC20 - where did that grill come from? Also - not to thread jack...but I got to ask (last picture) Was the stock 69/70 outer grill painted (Chevrolet) or was it not...I have seen both and am not sure which was stock... |

Re: Let's see '70 front ends
See, these are the types of questions that made me ask for 100% detail correct. I don't know what's right. Maybe, as noted above, there were variations from the factory.

Re: Let's see '70 front ends
Mine (Blazer-last pic in post 28) had the letters around the headlights on the outer shell but most has came off...I don't know about on the letters,I don't see where there was black paint there.

Re: Let's see '70 front ends
The grille on my Suburban has a little of the black paint remaining around the headlights(you can bearly see it in the pic), and very little left on the letters. All '69 and '70 grilles most likely had the headlight trim and letters painted, it just didn't hold up very well.

Re: Let's see '70 front ends
70LongbedC20's truck(the one in the middle there) is Europeon, might have something to do with the difference. I dont know though because Im not a doctor.

Re: Let's see '70 front ends
They are raised letters. I have to say that whoever did it took some time and I think it looks kind of slick.

Re: Let's see '70 front ends
Can you get a close up of the letters - maybe the old owner bought a generic grill and then embossed the letters from behind and painted them on the front...

Re: Let's see '70 front ends
Best front end to have IMO.
Even though my outer is worn and dinged, it still has the original 70 inner grill which I prefer over the 69 eggcrate look.
