trying to decide whether to keep gmc front grill or switch to the classical 65 chevrolet grill? any opinions which way i should go?

fercho71 · 07-02-2007, 11:15 AM

in my opinion its much nicer the 65 classic chevy grill but don't lessen to me, go for which you like the best after all its something dot you are building to please your self not the others.

jchav62 · 07-02-2007, 11:33 AM

Keep it GMC.

19GMC63 · 07-02-2007, 03:28 PM

you know what my anwer is.

Only thing I would do is paint the gmc lettering to make it stand out a little.

64GMCHorsepower · 07-02-2007, 03:46 PM

KEep it GMC, that's what I would do, but I am partial to them..

**slepysal** · 07-02-2007, 04:11 PM

I vote to keep it !

truckn' · 07-02-2007, 04:25 PM

I think you all are right, It started out a GMC it should stay a GMC. will start to disassemble end of July to get ready for paint.
Thx alot for input

62 short step · 07-02-2007, 05:23 PM

I say stay GMC, always like them grilles.

70gmcjimmy · 07-02-2007, 06:51 PM

I have to agree with the majority, of course i'm not partial or anything--LOL
That's a cool truck, Truckin'! What year GMC is that? The grille in the 62 I just got looks pretty much the same, xcept being bashed and rusted. Of course the windshield layout is different.

You probably should have said "LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD AGAIN MORON!!!" when I asked you the year of your GMC!!! Jeez sorry bout that!
I guess maybe I'm fallin for my 62 GMC and not thinking straight. Thursday will be a week anniversary of ownership. And yeah keepin the wife jealous can work to your advantage most of the time, if you know what I mean!
Thanks for being kind, y'all!

Oh, no, these guys have it all wrong.

You should definitely change the grill.
