I think the 75-76 grill is one of the best looking grills GM made and of course NOBODY re pops them.

Grill came out of a salvage yard and had the typical break near the hood handle (release). It looked really bad but I got it for a decent price. Chrome stripes will be added soon. I scored a really nice set of chrome stripes, off of partsvoice.com for less than 1/2 what they are going for on ebay.
Cool truck. I love the old pictures!

Re: My New Truck

Ok, the 8000 RPM tach install is officially under way. Many thanks to fellow member cdub2010 for lending me a hand in helping get these faces made up.

cdub2010 was super helpful, in getting started by stating lets give it a try and print them up and see if we can make this work. So we are in the thick of it. Now to tweak the tach face a little.

Re: My New Truck

Here is the Summit Racing tach I purchased to install behind the fuel gauge as the new tach face. Then with the Bosch tach face removed. Mock up of Bosch tach on the Fuel gauge.
