Re: Did I missFront end Friday
Here's the reason why I am looking for a '70 grill- I don't like the looks of this.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
Have you thought about matt black on the grill until the replacement is in place?

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
I'm thinking Matt black and remove either one of the Chevy Bowties and then it would look pretty good!

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
That's why I'm wanting to change my hood. I don't like the extra holes in the front of my 1969 hood.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
Hinge mounting bolts are tearing loose as well. Hood won't close right.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
What I would like to try to do is the hood mod like in post #139 and these.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
I like the Blazer grill! Did you buy or make it? I could just put the marker/turn signal lights behind the grill. I made one similar to it for my '68 Skylark. You woudn't believe what some of them were going for when I crashed it. $500+ for a broken one, and NOS was "giving up tooth fillings" territory.

![]() I went around the corner yesterday and the trans started to slip. Only one quart low. Must be the modulator (I really hope!) is leaking, because I don't see any puddles. Because of my recent hand surgeries, the wife is asking me to check on having the engine and trans rebuilt by shop(s). That's $$$$$ I really don't want to spend. We're at a point now that my wife says we should have bought a new truck. ![]() ![]()

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
The previous pictures were from other old threads . http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=490151 and http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=244455 and http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=335664 I had made a grille for my step side years ago from a '69 surround that the center grille bar had a ding in it so I trimmed out the center and put 3/8" aluminum channel for the bars. the '67 t/s park lamps behind that.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
Thanks. I built that for less than 25$ back then. Had to cut five notches in the back of the channel to bend it.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
Yup. That works on fuel and brake lines as well, but making sure all the sand is out is an absolute necessity.
