Unique grill project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Came across this, thought it was really intriguing, though its a late model truck, I think I could pull something like it off. Got to try out my new English wheel. I think the headlights are eye pods from a Peterbilt/Kenworth. The center grill makes me think Corvair.... but suggestions here would be appreciated!!!

that one is different. kind of reminds me of a mid 60's GMC grille, with a lot of massaging.

hummmm, still trying to figure out if I like it or not. I'll at least give him a nod from the bodywork aspect....

I think I like the 67-68 grille on that 1988 style truck in a thread a couple of months ago better than this one. They needed the fenders to come up and around the headlight bezels. Trevor

I see corvair their as well. Headlight bezels look corvairish too.

Bumper, hood, and fenders appear to be from a 90's as well, with some serious massaging to work in the 67 grille shape.

paintpyro · 11-24-2009, 05:32 PM

OK, Im diggin it. Interested to see how it look from a little further back, blending with wheel wells etc.

**john** · 11-24-2009, 05:56 PM

The headlight bezels look like 60-61 chevy pickup.

Do not like. But it is done well.

unclewatts · 11-24-2009, 09:52 PM

Nope, don't like it. JMHO.

jholley · 11-24-2009, 10:05 PM
