Where can I get this grill?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DanoDMano · 05-13-2003, 12:15 AM

This was recently posted on another thread, and it is exactly
what I have been looking for, for my truck.

Could anyone out there tell me where I can buy one?

I know it is a '72 outer grill, but what type of center grill
is that?? I like the spacing of it, and I feel many are too
close together.

I want to replace my '70 bumper with a '72, and go with the
new outer grill

Any help would be awesome!!

the LMC catalog has it.....there are 3 different sizes, bar sizes that is.

Don't know about the grill, but who's truck is that? You have any more pictures of it, if so post them, I like the way he has the rearend set up in it. By the way Dano, did you get the one wire alt installed yet

Yeah I did Sam, Thanks for all the help!!!

Charges like a champ, and it really cleaned
up the wiring under the hood!!

I just copied that photo off of the "red trucks" thread.
Dont know who's it is, but the stance and the width
of that rearend is perfect!!

Thanks Alexis, I will check out their site.

i have that grill on my truck, the problem with the grill is opening the hood !!! i can't imagine anybody with large hands ever opening it up. when i get around to painting my truck that's going to be the first thing to go!!

I took that picture at one of our local cruise ins last fall. I didn't get a chance to speak with the owner. Hopefully, we will see the truck again this Summer at some of the local shows.

DanoDmano, that is the same grill I have in my Blazer. I bought it from JC Whitney about 5 years ago.

Hey I have a 3 year old never been used Billit Phantom grill I would be willing to sell if you might be interested?

Long Knight · 05-13-2003, 03:39 PM

how much do those grills go for new?

keenee · 05-13-2003, 03:41 PM

I like both trucks in this post, if only they would put a stock inner grill shell in them
So what is the topic here?

Just foolin' guys
Truth is I don't like tube grills. But diversity is what makes the world go round.

I have 1 sitting in my shed that a fellow board member had given to me. Looking forward to getting the truck back together so I can put it on

Blue_71 · 05-13-2003, 04:44 PM

heres how i did mine to make it look kind of like a tube grill

Long Knight · 05-13-2003, 04:57 PM

OK Blue 71, don't leave us in the dark here. How'd you do it?!

Blue_71 · 05-13-2003, 05:32 PM

woops, i thought i forgot to put something

take out and clean up the old plastic insert (yeah you gotta scrub those bugs off finally

), paint the whole thing with chrome paint, then get 1/4" masking tape and tape off the horizontal bars and spray it gloss black, OR
clean it up, paint it gloss black, and get the chrome "tape" like you can get at autozone to put on the horizontal bars (i would still paint the chrome on it too incase any of the tape fell off, you'd at least still have a silver look)

Dano.. send me some pics of your 70 grill & bumper. I'm sort of collecting them right now, till I decide which is the best to put on my truck. Oh, that is if your going to get rid of it ! Blue_71...I didn't even notice it wasn't a tube grill by the pic, until your painting instructions!! Looks as good as the real thing!
