You know what I changed my mind... I like the other one better. Probably should stick with the phantom.

There's a reason why you don't see any of these on a 73-87 truck... the trucks are two different body styles, whereas the 91 SUBURBAN was of the same body style, just different radiator supports and grilles ;)

That's the unique thing about the 73-87 trucks. They were all flat in the front.

My question is when are you going to either put the rest of the molding on, or take the back off? :lol:

Truck looks awesome man. I vote for wing nuts too. That way whatever your mood is your set. :D

I'm not going to bag on you about the trim still there as I understand why you left those pieces. I will poke you in the ribs about the bolts missing from your rear bumper.

Take some of those carriage bolts and wing nuts you had left over from your front end conversion(s) and fill those holes up buddy...;)

big go with the phantom man it looks wayy better than the other ones. if i had a choice i would put a phantom on my 77 if it was possible without replacing the hood and fenders. they look so clean and custom they just add to the truck plus it looks super clean with the coys

That looks like the 4th of July show in Elkins. I love the look of your truck with the stock grille. I would love to go that way on one of mine. I know where there is an entire front clip over in Grafton for $600 (could be had for less).

Very nice truck by the way.

Where in wva are ya man?

shoot, if i knew you were looking for a 91 clip, i wouldnt have just threw one away thursday...i advertised it here in the for sale section, and no one bit, so i took it to the recycling center for scrap

xbanone 08-09-2009 11:07 PM

Re: phantom grille installed-pics
 
Clarksburg man. Damn, I would have loved that for my '81. Any chance its still at the recyclers? i rarely check the classified around here, maybe I should start.

btw, the Elkins car show is always great, and I love the drag racing at the airport they are doing now.

WHAT?!?! Man that's blasphemy. You should never throw anything away. :lol: I would have been interested if you weren't too far away.
