72shadetree · 03-24-2003, 08:13 PM

with what all youve dont to the truck i would shave it

mooneyes · 03-24-2003, 08:44 PM

i think they just look naked without it....

matt_field · 03-24-2003, 08:48 PM

i think they look really funny without them, i think it kind of makes the 67-68s look really nice

matt

>X< · 03-24-2003, 09:19 PM

there is no descision here-is your truck all original? (no) THEN SHAVE IT!! but hey, do what you like better. i'll see if i have any pics of shaved 67-68's

Blue Beard · 03-24-2003, 09:28 PM

Jefe · 03-24-2003, 11:30 PM

keep it.

Douglas.

white68chevy · 03-24-2003, 11:39 PM

I would keep it. even if its all shaved i would still leave that one. I will be leaving it on mine

nosto · 03-24-2003, 11:43 PM

My $0.02 -
I shaved everything except the drip rails and the front bowtie on my '67. I agree with mooneyes4b, it just don't look right without it on the front grill.
But, hey, it's your ride.....

72MARIO · 03-25-2003, 09:32 AM

I think it's going to stay I thought the front would look empty with out it.

Thanks

still w.i.p '68 · 03-25-2003, 10:39 AM

Mario, if you decide to keep it, you'll have to change your sig......lol

I would like to know how you put your filler neck behind the tail light, can you give a pic, and some details...Thanks John

*Randy70C-10* · 03-25-2003, 10:46 AM

I like the bowtie. That would probably be the one thing that I'd keep.

72MARIO · 03-25-2003, 12:24 PM

Really Hard Decision..... I am still not sure I have not seen many pics of 67 or 68 with out them.

still w.i.p '68

have not built the hinged light yet Will have some pics soon I have a really good Idea how it's going to happen with in the monthIt should be completed. I am o-most ready for paint have some filler work to do on the cab and trying to get the headlight trim to lign up right it's giving me a really hard time, but besides that I am set to Prime and paint the front clip. One box side need a couple of patches and primer then the wood floor not sure If mini tubs may happen or not Just an Idea ......

Undecided...........
Mario

72MARIO · 03-25-2003, 12:25 PM

**Desert Rat** · 03-25-2003, 02:09 PM

everyday when i pull into work theres a 67 stepside there that doesnt have it,i think it looks dorky,i even offered the guy one he could have,and id even put it on!Thants how much it bugs me.thats the one emblem id be proud to leave.

NSANE68!!! · 03-25-2003, 02:38 PM

SHAVE IT, and don't look back.

Or if you keep it at least do something COOL with it like mill it outa aluminum, or something.

The way I see it is, if they don't already know what kind of truck it is then they don't need to know. Plus CHEVY doesn't pay you to advertise.

But to each his own.

pat · 03-25-2003, 05:30 PM

Keep it for sure, it needs one chevy symbol.

72MARIO · 03-25-2003, 07:47 PM

Shaved yepper gone.......

Mabye I will leave the chevy symbol on the seat belts ..... Thanks guys

NSANE I totally agree with you that's why I questioned putting it on.

Sorry to you Rest freeks. I will have a photo shoot of me cutting my dash too. So watch your eyes.

>X< · 03-26-2003, 08:39 PM
