Wow, that is some type of modification. But why make your pickup look like a 80's truck?

68w/sbc406 · 08-03-2004, 05:31 PM

is that a van grill or a 90 sub/blazer grill? looks like a (or used to be) 68 with a newer step bed. some people have weird taste

toms68cst · 08-03-2004, 05:59 PM

Or no taste at all.

The stock 68 grill is perfection!

1969 GMC · 08-03-2004, 07:06 PM

ugggg

that looks like a van grille, I think the R/V series trucks and K5's had squared upper corners.
EDIT: seller states the grille is an '89 Burb.

it also has a corporate 10 bolt front axle, definitely not stock.
also an automatic, definitely not stock.

what an abortion of a truck!

Well...what have we here...

walker · 08-03-2004, 07:12 PM

You think thats bad, you must not have seen the one out in Tolleson. They grafted the front clip from a late nineties chevy truck onto the cab of a 67-72. Fugly!

406_SBC · 08-03-2004, 07:52 PM

Ive seen better looking things in a toilet!! loose the grill and box and start over, thats just sick!
ps. and of course the bush bumper if thats what you wantto call it

nate68 · 08-05-2004, 09:50 PM

some people are just idiots

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-05-2004, 09:54 PM

I kinda like it ... But what the helll it's great workman ship....

weasel29gm · 08-05-2004, 11:32 PM

Agree with French, good workmanship even though I wouldn't do it. But when everything else is updated these days. Discs, fuel injection, 60-40 seats,etc. Why not try a late grille on a 67-72? A for effort and B+for looks!!!

68w/sbc406 · 08-05-2004, 11:58 PM

you people are sick!!! yeah A for effort but it still looks like A$$

I hafta say I kinda like this one. I've always liked the 01-02 HD looks from day one. I guess its the "bulge" in the hood reminds me of the 67-72 trucks. (Your truck is better original though Mudder!

).

thisolechevy · 08-06-2004, 10:04 AM

WTF!! all you guys do is hate on someones well spent time. For all we know that truck could be invited to some major show that a "stock" 67-72 wouldn't be. Personally I do like the looks of it, its wierd but somehow captivating. I have a '94 bed on my truck and the M-3 signal mirrors and all I ever hear is how good it looks and all he did was take it 1 step further. A+ on workmanship and A+ on looks

*dtlilly* · 08-06-2004, 11:25 AM

Christopher, that thing looks horrible. Why some one would do such a thing is beyond me, if you want a late model truck...buy one and leave the old ones alone.

Randy, that photo shop of your truck broke my heart, especially after seeing yours in person

*FormerMember* · 08-06-2004, 11:40 AM

To each his own, I guess.

Someone put a lot of thought and effort into that.

Certainly not my taste, but I can't knock it when someone obviously loves their truck as much as they did that one...

It's a very good job, matching some tough parts together!
