Thanks Paul. Good idea. I just posted all the wheels I have to sell on Craigs List. Got a call on the Centerlines already. He's coming tomorrow.

Painted the back of my new chrome grill, and straightened and painted the brackets. Here's a tip of how to install a new grill. Align the holes with a punch and then clamp them with a vice grips. then pop rivet them in. I had trouble because there were bent. I painted behind the grill to protect it from rust. I also cleaned up the Cragers. They do look good. I think I'll keep them after all.

What do you guys think of the Bowtie in the grill? Should I loose it?

If I were you I would get rid of the grill. It just is'nt you.

I don't think it does anything for the truck. I liked the other one you had. It's not really doing thing different. All that said you can send it to me. It's in really good condition.

How do u type inbetween the pictures?

rondog4416 · 03-01-2011, 09:17 PM

i say keep the bowtie !! looks killer !!

ruffrida2005 · 03-01-2011, 09:22 PM

To be honest I cant say I really like the bow tie right now. I think it you put the bumper and hood on with the lights it might look better, But right now I'm not feeling it. So I say send it to Dave and send me the Cragers.

Strodder · 03-01-2011, 09:54 PM

Dave & Paul.....NO!!!

I install the lights, and took off the Bowtie. I think it looks better without. I'm thinking of bullets across the middle.

Strodder · 03-01-2011, 10:59 PM

That's a thought.

daverod · 03-01-2011, 11:00 PM

How about a 58 vette grill? Lets see some bullets. I was thinking the same.

How do u post pictures. I tried it did'nt work. I use the manage thing to post

Strodder · 03-01-2011, 11:06 PM

Vette grill is way too expensive. But I thought about it. I think the bullets will set off the chrome on the grill.

daverod · 03-01-2011, 11:12 PM

I thought u made 50 a hr?

Oh ya, but u live in Cal. so thats like 7.50 in Idaho.

There's like 10 of them on ebay for $250. that's a mornings work.

Strodder · 03-01-2011, 11:14 PM

No $40 an hour, and that's like 5 bucks in Idaho.

Remember I'm retarded......oh I mean retired.

daverod · 03-01-2011, 11:16 PM

That means you have no bills. Everthing is paid off. Kids are gone. Your rolling in the dough.

Even if you are retarded.

Strodder · 03-02-2011, 12:05 AM

Then I woke up.

Not everything is paid for. GOT TOYS.

watahyahknow · 03-02-2011, 12:24 AM

before you mentioned the bullets i was thinking a vertical grille from soda straw thick pieces of chromed roundbar welded in a flatbar "windowframe" the same way they usually make the grilles for a 40s rod
it would look simulair to the vette grill but a lot finer and closer together , could give them a litle bend out too ..... but again you can only see how that would work when the hood is on the car

Strodder · 03-16-2011, 10:16 PM

I'm thinking of a metal bed floor from a doner newer truck bed with inner fenders. What do you guys think? Remember "Cheap Build". I just saw one at a Wrecking Yard. It was crushed on top of the bed, but the floor looked good. It might be cheap.

Alan's Classic · 03-16-2011, 10:28 PM

Why not? You've done all the other mods, why stop now.

Strodder · 03-16-2011, 10:38 PM

It should be a hell of a lot cheaper than a wood floor.

I'll have to measure it and see what they want for it.

Dennis-- I forget-- is that a short bed??

bubba327 · 03-16-2011, 10:54 PM

I think the start of the fender openings is a little farther back, but if the donor truck is a long bed , then it could be cut down to fit a short bed easily . Then Rhino coat the darn thing and no one will know.......
