? on recent post about billet grills.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SCOTI · 03-24-2003, 12:39 PM

I was thinking about getting just the standard billet grill(e?) for my 74. I read the posts on the full phantom grills, what about the regular inserts?? What does everyone recommend? Stull, CarrigeWorks, Trenz?? I want the best looking (straightest) one possible & I'm willing to spend the extra if needed.

Let me know what you guys think.

I paid about $116 for my Stull here in town. Quality is great, some of the "fins" could have been straighter, but really no complaints. I would recommend it.

SCOTI · 03-24-2003, 12:59 PM

Low87 · 03-24-2003, 01:09 PM

Got mine from Summit, sounds like its a Stull, I love it. Great fit.

LOHRTBT · 03-24-2003, 01:14 PM

I dont think you can go wrong with a Stull.

I notice mine is the only one with an emblem. What's up with that????

EDIT: But mine is special - It lights up blue/green

**swervin ervin** · 03-24-2003, 08:03 PM

Because you are the only one who likes weird lights.

Mine is a stull just like the ones above, not phantom. I recommend them.

bagged81 · 03-24-2003, 08:25 PM

I really like mine, but I dont know the manufacturer. My uncle found it for me in a pawn shop off the beaten path for $50 about 4 yrs ago. I does need to be rechromed though. See the four pic in my sig.

The only phantom grille that I like is on the 81-87 Aim or Chasis Tech truck called the "The Look". I see it in their ad every once and awhile.
