Picture Request -Trim- - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PHOENIX · 03-03-2004, 07:32 PM

When I paint my truck I may choose to get away from the trim around the grille and head lights.
Anyone have any pictures of trucks without that front trim?
I know someone does because they posted them before.
I know it will take some filling of the holes and some custom work to do it, but I think I may go that route.
Thanks!

I have thought of doing this too. I wasn't sure if it was possible.

PHOENIX · 03-04-2004, 12:42 PM

Come on guys I know someone has a picture!

I thought I had one, but I went through all my pics and couldnt find any.

dont know if that helps any ..I can get more pics if needed

8t5Silverado · 03-04-2004, 02:27 PM

Did this require any filling between the fender and lights?

I thought the trim sat beyond the sheetmetal, so by removing it, the gap would look too wide.

there are slots that the trim slides into that would have to be filled.

PHOENIX · 03-04-2004, 03:30 PM

Damn Dave I didnt think about yours!
You have the phantom grille though.
Any chance you can get me a close up pic of the front of the fender (looking in where the side trim would be)?
thanks!

Here are the only ones I could find out of the pictures I have.
I am interested in seeing one that has the stock type grill setup if some has one.
Notice all these are custom or phantom type.

PHOENIX · 03-04-2004, 05:32 PM

Looking up close between the head light and the fender?

LOHRTBT · 03-04-2004, 06:22 PM
