Well, at least it was the inner.

I once saw a guy who cut the center bar out of his '70 grill, and replaced the inner with a '72. Destroyed a perfectly good '69-70 grill. Pissed me off, cause I spent 6 months looking for one.

Somebody liked it, to each his own.
Looks like a pretty decent job on the inner. But they should have put a 70 bumper on it. Just my opinion.

Man you guys wanna make me tuck tail and leave the board. The front bumper on my 71 was trash and the grill broken on the corner and I had a plain steel bumper layin around and I did somethin similar to this. Except I put my park lights in the bottom corners. Sure beats the crap out of a ripped and bent bumper and a hole in the corner of the grille. I also want to ad that I have never publically criticized anyones truck on the board. There is a reason for everything even if it doesn't look beautiful.

Not the first time ive seen it done!!!!wish it was the last!!!!
