OOOOOOH...so you're basically looking for a billet aluminum grille like the one in your sig...but for a 75-77. COme to think of it, I've never seen one on a truck for anything earlier than a 78. Now I gotta look for one.

I know LMC has them, there is a picture of one in their catalog.

Never look in LMC catalogs...only crap comes from them, so I have no use for any of their catalogs. That's why I didn't know about those grilles. Besides, I have good ol' DC 20 minutes down the road.

I am just trying to get an idea of what they look like in the 75-77 grille, they look good in the 78-79, I contacted that company but they don't have pictures?? I am going to try LMC and see if I can find that picture

 

[rsalter66]

OK got it, I don't like it....I'll stick with stock

 

[rsalter66]

I was just looking through that LMC catalog, WOW some of their prices are crazy, almost $700 for a OE fender, I could buy a whole damn truck? repos are cheaper

I gotta admit...I've NEVER liked billet grilles and think they look cheap and tacky. However, I think the split billet grille looks ALOT better than a billet grille on a 78/9. I'd still never have one, but I think it at least looks decent.

Glad you went with your choice, Buck - it's mine too! I agree with you, Ben - the only time I like the billet grilles are on the all-out custom street machines, and then not just any, either. It's got to fit the image they're trying to express. (You know, like Ramone on 'Cars')

 

[rsalter66]

Thanks Tex, it does look better in person then it did in the photo I posted, seeing it like that, I say "Not Bad ! " I could see getting one

 

[NOCO77]

Tex's isn't the billet one, though, Rick. If you like his, it is actually the steel tube style - round, it looks like.

 

[rsalter66]

well that is one of the types that stull rods has, but they have no pictures to show what it looks like

 

[Dirky]

Oh yea, the Silver and Charcoal does look a lot better on that truck...Good choice!

Well i dont know how well itll work.. but i think im goin to try to make a bar grille for my 78 with some 1/4in flat bar. But its goin to be black. Worse comes to worse ill just keep the stock if my homemade dont look good
