Which Grill Do You Prefer? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67/68 is my all time favorite, but really I like all 67 to 72. I wouldn't complain either way.

For this poll though.

69/70 for me.

I don't care all that much for the fragile plastic grill, since I always seem to see em all busted up.

marcsRX · 12-08-2009, 11:33 AM

Thanx for all the reply's gentlemen!

I think I'm going to do the 70 grill until i can afford a new 72 as it was mentioned earlier.

They are god damn expensive NOS....

Thanks MarcsRX, I never thought about changing my truck to an all black grill until I joined this forum back in 06 and saw another guy's truck and thought the same thing about his truck.

I like them all really, but I prefer the 71-72 style. 67-68 is really growing on me too.

CUSTOM_1O · 12-08-2009, 05:54 PM

I think the 67 68 just look mean...
More aerodynamic but id have to say i do love my 69/70 aswell

i dnt really care to much for the 71 72 but things change...

**Dan in Pasadena** · 12-08-2009, 05:57 PM

Somewhere I read that the '67 with its classic grill nad the laid back leading hood edge was the last design that Harley Earl had a hand in for GM. Does anyone know if this is true?

**Shock_Me** · 12-08-2009, 07:00 PM

As long as it's between the fenders of a 67 to 72 Chevy or GMC...I'm a fan!

wHATANERD · 12-09-2009, 02:29 PM

I don't like plastic, 69 and 70 look best.

Sacramento70 · 12-09-2009, 07:36 PM

D-Rat · 12-09-2009, 07:52 PM

I like that green truck you used in the first thread. I like it a lot.

unclewatts · 12-09-2009, 10:13 PM

Rudy67chevy · 12-09-2009, 11:15 PM

67,68

timski69gmc · 12-10-2009, 01:21 AM

I prefer the 71/72 grills. A few years ago I seen an old ad, it was of a 69 Chevy pickup, with a 69 Camaro on a trailer. They had matching paint, and the PU had a custom grill similiar to the 72 design, with hideaway headlights like the Camaro. Looked awesome!

*Puropedo* · 12-10-2009, 02:00 AM

67-68's are the undesputed king...but I like the 71-72's a tad better than the 69-70's.....Ah, what the heck, I like them all...

CUSTOM_1O · 12-10-2009, 05:01 AM

after 308,000 miles and a few years of gettin beat up by the weather mine is lookin a look sad... after a fresh pair of lenses bezels and a good buffin she should be good to go till i get the change for a brand new one... so my answers 69.70 lol

mike16 · 12-10-2009, 01:20 PM

I also read somewhere that Harley Earl had a hand in the design befor he left. we are better for it I think.
I like the 69 having owned one through high school but now I own a 72 so i gotta be loyal

*C-10 simplex* · 12-12-2009, 12:52 AM

To answer the question, 69/70.

But what i really wanted to say was i think gmc always had the better looking grills/frontend on the 67-72 series of trucks. And i'm a chevy fan first and foremost.

nickp51chevy · 12-12-2009, 12:58 AM

To answer the question, yes!

swappy · 12-12-2009, 11:03 AM

67-68
