What to do??
Hi Everyone,
I am having a difficult time deciding what to do.. I am getting ready to resurect my 71 4X4 suburban... and cannot for the life of me decided which front end to use... A NOS 68 grill and fenders.. Or my NOS 71 grill... any input???.. Help me decide... I do like the 68 style front ends much better.. but also like them as original... After I decide I will sell the unused grill.. Any one out there intersted in one or the other? I have both NOS inner and outer and headlight rings for the 71 - 72.. and NOS 67-68 grill surrounds and headlight trim rings.. Thanks, Mark |

My preference is 4x4 Chevy's look better with the more upright hood, 2wd Chevys look better with the 67/68 hood style. GMC's look good either way. If you can't go GMC, I vote for the 71 front end treatment, as originality is important

If you end up selling the 71 outer grill, I would be interested.

Thanks to all for the interest.. Shortymac83.. you are first in line for the 68 stuff if I decide to go with the 71 Grill.. HeavyD is second... Farside847 is first in line for the 71 stuff... Still cant decide...
Longhorn Man.. I am familiar with the GMC frontends.. Those are great too!! I have two GMC's. a 1970 1ton Motorhome.. (which is for sale) and a 68 GMC 3/4 ton 4X4 Decisions... Decisions... Maybe I should go buy another truck and confuse myself even more |
