Fugly.

(Damn! I'm the one that preached about not disrespecting another man's ride in another thread - DOH!)

**leddzepp** · 12-02-2009, 10:49 PM

I saw that one at Brothers. Pretty nice except for the grill and hood louvers, IMO.

1LoC10 · 12-02-2009, 10:53 PM

I like the louvers, but I nice chrome 69-70 grill shell would make the truck look 1000 times beter

Critter · 12-02-2009, 10:56 PM

The grill looks like a billet insert from a mid 90s GMC.

I can't get on board with that one.

72BlckButy · 12-02-2009, 11:10 PM

Just because you can... doesn't mean you should...

Thats funny, thats the exact same word that came to mind when I saw it. It's not nearly as bad as that butchered up truck with the fiberglass front end and the dual square headlights in another recent post though. It made me throw up in my mouth a little.

71tahoe · 12-02-2009, 11:48 PM

I've got a grill mod planned so I think I will try to be positive. I'm positive it was a lot of work. I'm positive it represents the builder's taste. I'm positive mine won't look like that.

kgt · 12-03-2009, 12:03 AM

I am sure he likes it on HIS truck...

I wouldn't have it on MY truck though

Andy4639 · 12-03-2009, 12:15 AM

I know why I like the look of a 71 so much now!!!

longhorn70gmc · 12-03-2009, 03:54 AM

Man,
I respect the time and effort, but why, man, why?

unclewatts · 12-03-2009, 04:17 AM

I respect another man's taste but me no likes!

Good thoughts too.

Yet another thread posted that becomes nothing more than a bash fest. I hope the owner of this truck isn't lurking here.

Critter · 12-03-2009, 09:28 AM

I'm not bashing here, just stating my thoughts. Since I first saw this last night I couldn't put my finger on what it reminded me of, then it hit me...Jeep Gladiators.

*C-10 simplex* · 12-03-2009, 01:04 PM

i personally dig it; You know it may have been a situation where this was a wreck, which didn't have the front end, and was ressurected. S/he didn't have a front grill to work with, so they created their own.

Jim_PA · 12-03-2009, 01:11 PM

did they make that out of plywood?

lax54650 · 12-03-2009, 01:28 PM

better than no grill but it fits nicely and can be reversed if he or she desires

Seraph · 12-03-2009, 01:34 PM

not my style...but to each their own!

Stock72c10 · 12-03-2009, 01:47 PM

The bumper looks good...
