69-72 trim on a 67-68 style front end?

Once upon a time I remember seeing a picture of a brown~ish colored 68 with 69+ trim and paint scheme on it.. Does anyone recall this truck and/or post? I'm thinking I might do 69+ woodgrain lower trim on my truck and I'd like to see how it looks again. Thanks.

Yep.. that's me right there.

How do you guys think a solid hugger orange / white grille section and woodgrain lowers (only) would look?

Can't go wrong with hugger orange! the wood grain would just enhance it IMHO...

How about a woodgrain insert on the 67-68 trim?
To me all the other trims look wrong,... except the "correct year" for the truck.

Just looking for something different.. I like the 67-8 front end better but I like nice woodgrain too.. just thinking out loud really. I like the 67-8 trim too though.

I like the truck in the link. If you are only going with lower trim I'd go with a white grill and white below the trim.
