that is sweet Frank! good find

Rollinsqrbdy · 02-15-2010, 10:47 PM

^ oh yaaa bud thanks f.monroe. Thats exactly what i want.
I better do something with that grill quick cause 3r!c84 just
wants it done already lol

f.monroe · 02-15-2010, 11:06 PM

I remember bits and pieces and sometimes I can find the threads I am thinking of . I remember the post and I think it stands out . Most people probably wont realize what was done to the grille they will just wonder why it looks better than any other they have seen . It was a perfect blend of factory and aftermarket .

3r!c84 · 02-15-2010, 11:10 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. U to 3r!c84 lol

datguysaL · 02-15-2010, 11:22 PM

looking good, im liking the rims, but in the grey color...

do u plan on adding the stock black plastic valance/spoiler under the front bumper?

Rollinsqrbdy · 02-15-2010, 11:41 PM

Ya i plan on adding it. I think it'll give it that lower look i want.

Heck if you get an air dam & some paint it might actually be a cool looking truck.

Oh and I don't get the comment either. But I will make up the meaning to be that it is "tight" like a taco should be. Not falling open like a fajita.

I agree Frank. Both with the memory part, and the blending of the grill part.

JohnC · 02-16-2010, 07:43 PM

No the 85-87, which is what I replaced it with, is wider.

3r!c84 · 02-16-2010, 10:01 PM

damn there went that idea,what about 83 and down?

JohnC · 02-17-2010, 10:40 AM

83 and 84 have the same grill. 81-82 is different too.

sorry for limiting your search.
