1975 stepside grill
« on: September 24, 2016, 07:49:37 PM »
been noticing that alot of the 1975 stepsides have the "barred" grill. at first i thought they were aftermarket but now im thinking they are factory.

i really dont like the look. is it possible to swap for the mesh style logo grilles? heres a pic of mine.

Those are aftermarket billet grilles, definitely not factory.

It's called a tube grille. Is it a Chevy or GMC?

Tube grilles could be square tubing or round tubing. I used to have one on my truck that was round tube but my buddy had one on his 83 K5 that was square tube.

weird. well im glad theyre aftermarket because i was worried i wouldnt be able to install the factory style one, which looks way better imo.
