Smile My 72' Get's a Facelift! :)

Well dropped a few bucks on some mods for my 72' so I thought I'd share with you guys the new look. The wheels are from Allied Wheel and the grille is from Trenz. Better pics on the way once the weather clears up one of these days. Let me know what you think!
Keep on Truckin'

Truck looks great man! How do you like the Trenz grill? Did you change the hood latch?

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments! The Trenz grille ran me about $165 from my local shop, as for the latch mod...thats a story in itself lol! I got it all together and assembled it back as it was before. Well I shut the hood to test the latch and low and behold the handle hit one of the bars on the grille and wouldn't let it open all the way, so I had to take apart the latch with the hood down and about 1/4 - 1/2 of an inch of room to work in! Anyways, after a lot of cussin and swearing and throwing tools accross the shop...I got it apart again I took a die grinder and took about an inch off the lever and moved the latch back and it works great now! If only the directions would have said that...but hey thats the way it is when working on this kind of stuff
