69C10@16 · 01-07-2008, 08:22 PM

i need some pics guys....

i'd like to see what a 67-68 front clip would look like with a 69-72 style hood. Anybody seen this before?

I'd also like to see what a dark blue/orange color combo would look like.

Thanks Guys,
Newton

No picture.But,it will look like a hood that is a couple inches too short.I saw a`36 Chevy pickup painted deep blue with chevy orange wheels and pinstripes.It was the essence of Chevy in those colors.Like a black & orange on a Harley.

it wont work the 67-68 clip curves down in the front adn the 69-72 hood does not body lines will not match up

crzngmychvy · 01-08-2008, 10:49 AM

Here is one the other way around if that is worth anything...

69C10@16 · 01-08-2008, 11:36 AM

wow i like the 67-68 hood on the 71-72 front. thats sweet. on the other hand, the flipside DOES look terrible. Surely someone out there has some pics of the color combo though. Thanks!

69halfton · 01-08-2008, 03:29 PM

must of taken alot of mod to make that hood fit...and look that good.

69C10@16

...im 16 years old as well and bought my truck at 15...after years of working and saving every penny.

dont worry about how the truck looks right now. make it safe, clean it up so the girlies will ride with you. and make it fast

why waste speed parts money...changing the hood.?

...i sunk every last penny into that 383. AND IT WAS WORTH IT.

clemson71guy · 01-08-2008, 03:34 PM

nice truck 69halfton.
im 16 to, but i agree make it safe, fast and clean before you start worring about changin the front clip and stuff. i think ur truck looks good as it is right now

69C10@16 · 01-08-2008, 06:35 PM

i've got a guy that might be giving me a 67 as a parts truck and the front clip is in WAY better condition than mine but it has no hood. thats why i was askin. dad said he thought the later hoods were better looking anyways so i got to wondering. i dont have the money for any of that stuff right now anyways it was just a quandry in my mind.

does nobody have a pic of the dark blue / chevy orange color combination? really? i figured someone would have ONE on their hard drive.

Thanks

Here's one...

69halfton · 01-09-2008, 12:05 PM

it took me a minite...so in case anybody doesn't notice...thats a late hood on an early grille...

maybe i just dont notice things like that quickly

...personally, i dont like it.

69C10@16 · 01-09-2008, 12:27 PM

i like that frizzle. but i wonder how much fabrication it took to fill the gap up. is that one yours or just one you had?

69halfton · 01-09-2008, 12:38 PM

it looks to me....that he took a 67 hood, and cut the bottom edge off, and then mounted that solid on the truck, you can see the seam at the bottom of the late hood, then like 2-3 inches of early hood, then grille, look closely.

69halfton · 01-09-2008, 12:43 PM

green is late hood, blue is early hood.

its the best way i could figure on how to show it.

Frizzle Fry · 01-09-2008, 01:55 PM

I think the blue, as you've highlighted it, is a section from a 69-72 grille surround. The 68 next to it looks much better IMO.

One from the hard drive.

**Palf70Step** · 01-09-2008, 03:22 PM

Maybe they used the upper grill piece from a 69-70 GMC, and painted it to blend in with the body.

It doesn't look that bad though however they did it.

69C10@16 · 01-09-2008, 06:13 PM

It really doesnt look that bad. I dont think i prefer it over a full blown 67-68 front end but it's decent. I agree that i think the blue highlighted section (which thanks for makin that by the way it makes it easier for us to make our different points

) is part of the 69-72 grille shell. b/c the hood doesnt come down that far. i may be wrong but thats my thinking.

i know i sound like a broken record but does nobody really have ANY pics of a dark blue and chevy orange color combination. That's what i was really after because my uncle said he was willing to paint my truck for me and not charge me labor if i was willing to help (which i obviously am) and I wanted to see the color combo before I locked in my decision. Maybe take a closer look at your hard drives for me?

THanks,
Newton
