Pick a grill - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Even though I already know that most of you will want me to go with the 73-75 grill, I think that I want to save it for my blazer. That being said, which grill should I run on the 77? I have the brackets now for all of them. The 76 grill is in great shape, but I would possibly paint some of it black. Some of the crosshairs on the 80 grill are broke, so I would probably remove them all. I think I hate the tube grill. You opinions?

I like the bottom right the best.

The tube grill is ugly, I like the bottom right grill with the 350 emblem. Stock grills look the best on the 73 to 79's i think. nice 77 tho!

Since you are saving the 73-74 grill for your blazer go with the 75-76 grill above it.

im partial to the tube grille, my grandpa bought one from the dealership on his 72 short bed and I have one on my 79 short bed.

Yeah, the 75-76 grill would look nice on it. The 73-74 grill would look awesome on the blazer.

Is finding another 73/74 grille an option?

njlimbaugh · 10-31-2011, 10:02 AM

That tube grill would look better if you painted those 3 vertical support bars flat black.

silvereagle07 · 10-31-2011, 10:16 AM

75-76

Yes, but I am worried about finding another set of brackets for it.

I have the headlight bezels for the 80' also, but I think I could just use the plastic grill.

I am leaning towards the 76'

Altec · 10-31-2011, 04:44 PM

Cut all the crosshairs out of the '80, and run that.

If I did that and painted it black except for the bowtie?

sethv · 10-31-2011, 06:13 PM

Tube grilles are uglyyy

rocking chevy · 10-31-2011, 06:17 PM

Tex_50613 · 10-31-2011, 06:39 PM
