hello ... just found your site and joined . Nice site

Started restoring this 69 . Kinda weird lil truck , 307 3spd on tree , factory deluxe chrome kit including chrome front and rear bumpers . It had never been painted and was in exceptionally good shape for Indiana truck . Will be lookin for help in future locating a few parts. I know it's wishful thinking ...but , does anyone know where a factory 69 Grille shell is ? Trying to put it back completely original . Found lots of aftermarket through LMC truck parts. Will post some pics of the total process .

Welcome from So Cal. If its out there, someone will have it here

**CPNE** · 09-16-2003, 01:37 PM

Welcome. I suggest you head on down to GMCPauls in Rockville. I see via Mapquest you're not too far away. He'll have everything you need for that truck and at prices far less than LMC's. Plus no shipping and lots of free advise.

If GMCPaul doesn't have one, you can still buy them at the dealer. They're higher than hell though. Last one I priced was 325 for the outer shell, 125 for the inner, and that's jobber price.

Carl71 · 09-16-2003, 10:12 PM

Welcome, Down the street from you in Lebanon, Bought alot of stuff from GMC Pauls He located here in Indiana so the shipping is cheaper or you can go get it. Hes down by Raccon Lake.
