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

j/k

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.

Flat is Good!!!

redneckwheelman2 · 08-05-2009, 12:51 PM

flat is good but not really for the burb grill

JohnC · 08-05-2009, 03:38 PM

Or for aerodynamics

sweet! your tuck is a model formine, haha, made me change over to the bub font, just love it! i remember when i was a kid (even tho im only 19 lol) i saw a truck with a burb clip at a dealership, i was 10 at the time, but convinced my dad we HAD to have it, well, they sold it by the time we went, and i never could figure out what year it was because of that clip!

Chevrolet4x4s · 08-06-2009, 12:43 AM

Looks great in person

,there really isn't much that can be done to make these trucks not look good*,86 daul headlight grilles,and the phantom grilles look good too,so my vote is for wingnuts

Shane

* exceptions (rust,park lights in the bumper,and the square light 80s)

bigarmzz · 08-06-2009, 07:39 AM

lol, i first saw your pics and thought "man, that truck looks just like mine...wait....that "is" mine"....lol

you should have come up to me and said you were from the board or sumfin

JohnC · 08-06-2009, 08:06 AM

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

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

just waiting for the $$ to get it painted, cowl hood, sport mirrors, etc....unless of course you want to contribute to my "paint poor ol bigarmzz' truck fund"

**N2TRUX** · 08-06-2009, 10:04 AM

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...

I didn't realize it was your truck till I saw the pics of it on here,or I would have.
It was a great show this year,hated to hear about Jim though

Orange77 · 08-07-2009, 02:07 AM

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

xbanone · 08-07-2009, 03:19 AM

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.

silvereagle07 · 08-07-2009, 07:00 AM

I like the look of the 'burb front end. Your truck looks good man.

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

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.

Brady

bumslie75 · 08-10-2009, 01:32 AM

WHAT?!?! Man that's blasphemy. You should never throw anything away.

I would have been interested if you weren't too far away.
