White bumper grill surround twin to my silver trimmed :metal:C10, Cool!

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Here's the reason why I am looking for a '70 grill- I don't like the looks of this.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Have you thought about matt black on the grill until the replacement is in place?

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

I Agee..that looks goofy.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

I'm thinking Matt black and remove either one of the Chevy Bowties and then it would look pretty good!

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

That's why I'm wanting to change my hood. I don't like the extra holes in the front of my 1969 hood.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Let's see, replace the hood. $$$

Or patch 2 small holes. ¢¢¢

Looks good!

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Hinge mounting bolts are tearing loose as well. Hood won't close right.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Oh. :o

Cool side marker lights.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

What I would like to try to do is the hood mod like in post #139 and these.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

I like the Blazer grill! Did you buy or make it? I could just put the marker/turn signal lights behind the grill. I made one similar to it for my '68 Skylark. You woudn't believe what some of them were going for when I crashed it. $500+ for a broken one, and NOS was "giving up tooth fillings" territory.

I have enough to do that I ain't gonna spend any time on that! :lol:

I went around the corner yesterday and the trans started to slip. Only one quart low. Must be the modulator (I really hope!) is leaking, because I don't see any puddles. Because of my recent hand surgeries, the wife is asking me to check on having the engine and trans rebuilt by shop(s). That's $$$$$ I really don't want to spend. We're at a point now that my wife says we should have bought a new truck. :lol: I'm checking the back yard for that money tree she must have planted. ;)

The previous pictures were from other old threads . http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=490151 and http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=244455 and http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=335664 I had made a grille for my step side years ago from a '69 surround that the center grille bar had a ding in it so I trimmed out the center and put 3/8" aluminum channel for the bars. the '67 t/s park lamps behind that.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Thanks! I like your grille, too. I looked on line and for about $200 I can get one like on the orange Blazer. But I could build one with 3/8" channel, as well. That would be much cheaper. Or go to Industrial Metal Supply and get stainless tubing like I used for the grille in my Skylark, at one time. Tubing is easier to bend than the channel.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Thanks. I built that for less than 25$ back then. Had to cut five notches in the back of the channel to bend it.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

From my early days out of high school, I learned in a machine shop to fill tubes with sand and tape up the ends before bending, keeps the tubes from collapsing and holding their shape in the bend area.;)

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Yup. That works on fuel and brake lines as well, but making sure all the sand is out is an absolute necessity.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
 

Thanks .I started with stock gm side marker lights for late 80's and 90's Chevy vans , taped of the bowtie and painted body color. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_6803324
