Bra's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there an available bra for 71/72's. I'd like to keep my driver looking respectible. Thanks, TF

Longhorn Man · 07-16-2002, 04:49 PM

I think I have seen one before, although it may have been a custome job.
One thing to note though, the bras have been known to damage the paint if left on wet...esp in the sun.

Check with Steve Moore he had one for a 67/68 and I'm sure he can help you with one for your yr model truck and I have some of your parts also,give me a call tonite!

What good would a bra do? All except the strip of the hood is chrome or aluminum. I don't see that it would benefit you much.

Longhorn Man · 07-16-2002, 05:30 PM

Stone chips...that's about it.

lofly'a · 07-16-2002, 05:40 PM

this question came up a few weeks ago. i posted the name of the company that makes bra for our trucks , they list in street rodder. here it is again:

wardlow's
2680 atlantic avenue
long beach, CA 90806
310-424-9850

they list bras for 34 to 72 chevrolet truck, hope this helps

YEP -- STONE CHIPS -- I DON'T THINK I'D WANT TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A BRA ON ANY OF MY TRUCKS WITHOUT A BUG DEFLECTOR SCREWED TO THE HOOD, & A SET OF CURB FEELERS. OH OH & SOME DINGLE BALLS HANGING FROM THE HEADLINER ALONG WITH SOME FAKE FUR GLUED TO THE DASH. & DON'T FORGET THE CRUSHED VELOUR DOOR PANELS, A SUN ROOF
(PREFERABLY ONE THAT LEAKS) & 8 OR 9 10' WHIP CB ANTENNAS.YEA THATS THE TICKET. OH YEA

A bra keeps the front end semi-clean for the next owner. Your penance is to look at it all those years until you do sell it.

BTW, after reading the subject of this post, I was VERY disappointed to find out the actual topic was CAR bras

I've got the curb feelers, and the fake fur. Hadn't thought about the dingle bars. I was only looking for protection on trips. Guess I'll have to re-think. TF

junkyardjohn · 07-16-2002, 06:34 PM

HEY EVERYBODYS TASTE RUNS A LITTLE DIFFERENT ON THESE OLD TRUCKS, BUT B-4 YOU LAY OUT SOME CASH ON ONE, YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT A TRUCK, IN PERSON, WITH ONE OF THESE FINE FINE ADDONS INSTALLED. LIKE I SAID --TO EACH HIS OWN.

:p

slam33 · 07-16-2002, 10:40 PM

I'm going to have to run over and check them out.

weasel29gm · 07-16-2002, 11:11 PM

Hey Treefrog, try JC WHITNEYS they always have odds ends that you cant find anywhere else,btw Ilike the bra-less look!!!!!!!! lol

treefrog · 07-17-2002, 06:22 AM

I go with the board. I was thinking only of trips. We go bra-less. Thanks. TF

bobs409 · 07-17-2002, 06:22 AM

Does anyone have a girdle on their truck? LOL If your gonna protect the front, might as well protect the back too.

Sorry, had to say it. I never could understand these bra's. ???

ha ha, the comment about the girdle................ i just got one for my drag truck project, but i think it looks much better than a bra. lol Dev.

Paul Clark · 07-18-2002, 06:32 PM

Bras rub. At least that's what my wife... - never mind.
They do rub on the paint and eventually skuff it up. The local street rod painter told me to let the pretty paint show.
Did you ever watch "Bay Watch" to look at the bras and think about how they are protecting what's underneath?
