Eh?

apstguy · 03-25-2003, 01:36 AM

Could be almost any major manufacturer: Trenz, Skull, Carriage Works, etc.

I think he meant Stull and not Skull.

Looks like my Stull without the bowtie.

Looks like a custom job to me with the inlaid bowtie. I am thinking of making one like that for my '53 Chevy p/u, one that will follow the contour of those trucks, but now that I see that one I will look into putting a bowtie into mine.

Dunno, but that definitely looks good!

I think it's just like any other billet grille, but he has added a bolt on bowtie. If you look close, you can see the bowtie is on top, not made into it. I've thought about adding a bowtie to mine too. Personally, I've never seen a billet grille with a bowtie built in for our trucks.

I agree with Mike. Looks like a bolted on Bowtie. I did see a billet grille like that, that did have a bowtie inlayed, but it was big $$$. The bowtie was billet too. I dont remember the place, I seen it online. It was around $400 for the grille, so I didnt even bother to remember the place.

LMC truck sells a billet aluminum grill and they sell the bolt on bowtie. you might want to check that out.

oops. My bad!

I had to custom fab my brackets for my emblem. Mine are just made from a solid block of plastic (polyurethane). Used a saw & a drill to make it exact. Took me maybe 10 min.

Does it look like this? I bought billet grill from stylinconcepts, but it turned out to be stainless, so I returned it and got this one. $160 for this Trenz grill..
