Scored a grill gaurd for...
Finally git a grill guard for my 71 gmc. I had one before but it was to bulky and I did not care for it. A thou it was a heck of a gaurd made from 1/2 in flat stock and square tubing. It's was not ment for a 67-72 pickup. It was for a 94 dodge. I new of this "new" gaurd for a wile. It was on a 67 gmc c15. It sat bu the high way for about a year and I finally decided to ask the guy about. What's the worest thING that happens he won't sell. Away I ask if $70 would buy it but he said that's to much how about $30. I sade ok let me garb my tools and got that thing off in about an hour. The gaurd is made by a local company called farm power manufacturing in aberdeen south dakota it's still open to this day

Re: Scored a grill gaurd for...
I would like to stop by thare someday and ask about it. It would be cool to see if they did have any records of the grill guard.
