What did you guys with 69-70 custom grilles do for turnsignals?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RON WOODGEARD · 01-02-2003, 02:06 AM

I just got my billett grille and outer grille installed & bolted on, Now I need to come up with an Idea for turn signals.
I've thought about 71-2 bumpers, But my 70 bumper is brand new.

But I may have to go that way anyway.

Ron, any pix?

DanoDMano · 01-02-2003, 02:50 AM

Yeah Ron any Pic's?? I sure would like to get one myself, but dont know how they would look.

I like the 71-72 bumper better than the one that came on our trucks, but I would have a hard time parting with a new bumper too???

Reumster · 01-02-2003, 03:02 AM

You could easily sell the new bumper. I had a 68 with a 72 bumper on it. 4 front parking lights!

But we will have LED front inserts in the future. And possibly some billet covers for lenses.

RON -- I LIKE TO MOUNT THE TURNSIGNALS BEHIND THE GRILL, ON THE RADIATOR SUPPORT, FOR A MORE SANITATY LOOK. I EITHER USE 67-68, 67-72 GMC OR 71-72 CHEVY TURNSIGNALS. IT WORKS, & LOOKS GREAT. JOHN

Hey Ron, I have some NOS 67-68 marker lights(delivery van) look just like truck ones with the studs comming straight off the back they would work perfect for that if interested. CHEAP!!!

RON WOODGEARD · 01-04-2003, 08:02 PM

I just got out today and took some pictures, I hate this polaroid PDC 640 Digital camera,But it's all I have for right now, What's more important spending money on the truck, or the camera???

RON WOODGEARD · 01-04-2003, 08:07 PM

while I'm at it, here's another.

RON WOODGEARD · 01-04-2003, 08:10 PM

Everything on the left side of this camera is out of focus.

There's plenty of clearance with the Blazer tank installed.

Lots of work to do to this thing yet. It's never ending.

I bet them 67-72 out there in your area are mint! All that dry heat all the time! Man perfect metal!

RON WOODGEARD · 01-05-2003, 05:48 PM

Most of the metal in the junkyards are in very good condition, Unless it didn't originate from here, And since this town wasn't a town until 1963 most of us are implants...

nevada70chev · 01-05-2003, 05:59 PM

hey ron...what kind of wheels do you have? i think they are the same as mine, eagle #154 6 lug with 4 in. back space. are yours polished?

RON WOODGEARD · 01-05-2003, 08:11 PM

Hey, Nevada70,

They are Ultra I think type 52 or 54's, 6 lug. I'll show them to you in person in the next couple of months. I'm moving south of you, somewhere in the Carson to Minden area. I'm moving my jewelry store and 2 families. We're coming up in two weeks to look at some property. 10 acres in Virginia hills, and another between Minden and Topaz lake.

I'm hoping to have it running to make the trip but I don't know if I'll make it or not. I have 8 horses,5 dogs, a store,2 houses, and lots of junk.... I hate to move, but I'm tired of the Heat. Son-in-law is in the final stages of his background check for Douglas county sheriff dept.He may be up there in about 3 weeks to a month.

Can't wait to meet you guys from there, At least I'll have someone to share truck info on, there is no one here that does anything with trucks or cars besides drive the heck out of them.

RON
