Dang grill removal ahhhhh

[redhoss02]

Ok so I'm actually very mechanically inclined but I can't seem to figure out how to get the damn grill off without removing the whole front clip. I've searched forums to find the same question asked and no answers, I've searched YouTube. NOTHING, but yet I see all these trucks on here with the grill only removed for paint. So obviously it can be done. Any help would be appreciated. Also big thanks to the guys helping me out with the filter fitting for my carb.

Depending on the year....there are 3 or 4 bolts that you will remove from the back of the grill surround to remove the grill. Unplug the head light harness and it will come right out.

I see the bolts but I can't see where I can get around to the back side to remove them. It's a 66

Turn the wheel.....look forward of the tire

[redhoss02]

So all the bolts I can get to from the fender well without removing anything?

[Oldtruckfanatic]

These 3 bolts inside the wheelwell on the core support just as the above stated. My grille is already out bit these are the bolt holes.

[Oldtruckfanatic]

Yes without removing anything but the headlight plugs. For whatever reason all my pics are loading sideways today. never had that issue before.

Sweet I will check that out when I get home. I'm gonna start a build thread with some pics tonight. Everyone of the decisions on this truck are coming from my 7yr old son! Should be interesting. Low budget build for now. Thanks guys!

Here comes the transformers build! Haha just kidding but that's what my youngest is all about right now can't wait to see the build thread.

hes going for the slammed rat rod look.

[Oldtruckfanatic]

Nice! I'm doing a slammed rat rod myself. The dash looks awesome.

We have a lot of body work to do over time. Hood, fender corners, can corners, kick panels.

[redhoss02]

I have no clue why my pics are sideways!

[Oldtruckfanatic]

Yeah mine had and still has a few spots to fix. Honestly that's a pretty cool patina.

[Oldtruckfanatic]

Every picture I have taken today has posted sideways. The upright ones are uploaded from my files.

[redhoss02]

Problem is last guy went crazy with black spray paint and it's peeling off everywhere. Actually has miss growing on fenders and grill that would be cool to leave hahaha. Plan is to sand repaint with same color as interior and sand to a patina look and matte finish.

[redhoss02]

What year is yours?

[Oldtruckfanatic]

Mine is a 65 but quite a bit of it came from a 66

[redhoss02]

I like it man! I want that look but just can't afford the bags anytime soon. For now I'll prob cut one coil front an rear and see where it sits. Unless anyone has better input.

[Oldtruckfanatic]

I have a pic of mine static dropped before painting the panels all the same color. yours will look just fine without bags.
