Factory Grille Gaurds... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Canadian694x4** · 11-16-2003, 04:56 AM

I was wondering if sum of you would share sum pics of Factory grille gaurds/bumper gaurds etc. I was also wondering how many of you have trucks and still have the big "cow catcher type" full grille gaurds on your trucks to keep with the original stock look of the truck...

Post Away!

Thanks

Brian

This has been on the truck since new. I just took it off a few months ago when I started the total restoration. The original grill is still in perfect condition because of this thing. The guard itself has been hit pretty hard a few times...

dinnut · 11-16-2003, 04:35 PM

sure makes the truck ugly though

Solver · 11-16-2003, 04:39 PM

Heres my newest Longhorn and it has the guard on the front

1969 GMC · 11-16-2003, 04:46 PM

All these pics just convince me that our trucks look best stock.

**BAD4X4** · 11-18-2003, 12:21 AM

Here is the one that came on my blazer, from the dealer, I took it off and had it powder coated bright white and put it in the upstairs of my shop.

casey · 11-18-2003, 01:17 AM

that is one sweet blazer, I love that unit

Hooter · 11-18-2003, 01:24 AM

I always tought those were aftermarket, cuz they never looked right

Jemost 72 · 11-18-2003, 04:35 AM

Mmm, bumper guards, I gotta have em!

**Yukon Jack** · 11-18-2003, 05:46 PM

Here's the beauty that was on my truck - don't think I will be reinstalling it.

And a picture after I painted it black. Looks better, but still not going back on my truck.

griesel72 · 11-18-2003, 06:38 PM

I've got a friend that has one that he'd like to sell, if anyone wants one. It is the one that the chevy dealers installed

Hooter · 11-18-2003, 08:38 PM

Looks like you bumper got sweetened a bit in the front,, but the grille prevails!

Hi Gregsplace. It looks like you have an original GM Medium Duty Grill Guard. I got this pic from an original owners manual. It lists all of the approved GM accessories available. Your pic sure looks like the one in the catalof...Take Care,Greg

rambler · 11-18-2003, 08:46 PM

wouldn't mind having one like that for the old 67, C-20,, it will be primarly the work truck on the farm.... if anyone one near KC,, just wants to clean up garage space... I'll be willing to haul it away cheap

palallin · 11-19-2003, 12:25 PM

The one on my truck has already gone back on. Sniff at the looks if you must, but this guard has saved my truck from so much damage and lessened what damage it did receive so many times that, even if it were ugly (and I don't think it is), I'd keep it on.

**CPNE** · 11-19-2003, 12:36 PM

"Ultimate" grille guard

VTKidder · 11-19-2003, 01:00 PM

HAHAHA!!!

**Canadian694x4** · 11-19-2003, 11:51 PM
