possible modern addition to my 69 chevy

[69truckin]

so i was looking through the coolest mods thread and this has running in my head for a while. what do you guys think if i could mod a newer style chevy grill like the one below to replace the whole middle section part of the grill on my 69 chevy stepper. i think it would look pretty sharp just wanna see what kind of reaction there is to this idea so let me know.

I think it'd work great. I always think these new silverado's grilles look reminiscent of the 67-68 grille.

Well, you asked. Ugh. I don't like the idea. The 69 has one of the most beautiful and classic looking grills you can get on any truck. Period. I just spent some time restoring one and installing it, and I really fell in love with the design even more

It would look cheesy imo.

I have a very imaginative mind so I can see it going either way I guess if u do the grille incorporate some other new touches ??

You could try it but I think it would be too big, all the trucks nowadays are bigger than they used to be.

I have a spare grill I was going to do it with. I like the grill on there now but I can't find th inner and thought it would be a good idea but I also think the new grills are bigger then the ones on them now.

Im curious to see what it would look like if you fabbed it up.. but I dont think I would like it and I sure as heck would never do it on my truck.

I'm thinking if you have the time & the grill, do it. Then post some pics to get an opinion from us. Good luck with your project.

I like the original looks of the '67 - '72 trucks (both Chevy and GMC) and I'm thinking this would create a somewhat strange looking combination. But, hey, it is your truck!

[treveiger]

If your looking for a new retro it might work for you. Just dont cut the truck itself to much just in case you hate it lol.

This looks like one of those projects you might want to Photoshop before cutting any metal. I'm just saying....

[69truckin]

I won't do any cutting to the truck it's self I would be cutting the old grill I have

The only thing I see that would make it look weird is the fact that the new grill cuts down toward the bottom \======/ where the 69 grill is straight |========|

[Madtat]

I too have thought of that as a replacement for mine. The center piece of my grill is pretty bad and it's cheaper (localy) to get a late model one. The jury is still out. Why is it the resto places want and arm and a leg for the replacement grills and parts?

[69truckin]

nate g 2003 thats what i was lookin at also so i would have to figure it out some how.

[quick60]

I dont think it would look all that great. Can anyone photoshop it?
