Besides the Bumper and grill bracket.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 69 Custom Camper but am thinking about changing the grill. Of course we have the grill with the Chevrolet in the middle with the turn signals in the middle of the grill. If I was to get from Pauls -(Vendor) the 71-72 billet grill..what would I have to change besides getting another bumper with turn signals and changing the grill bracket in the middle to make this work? To replace the orginal grill would cost me as much as changing it and adding the different bumper. (Atleast thats what I have found.) Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks. Truck69

Bumpers are cheap. $99.00 on ebay. About $40.00 for a set of lights. Outer grille is spendy. $300.00+ for repros, and $450.00 for OEM.

I would just leave the outer grill but I would like to show the truck someday but the grill itself is pretty beat up. Lots of dents..scratches..cracks. I liked the look of those billet grills but was not sure how much work would it of been to change it over. From what I have seen another grill like mine with the letters in the middle are over 500 dollars.
