Title: Random thought:
Post by: Stewart G Griffin on July 10, 2011, 09:08:11 am: Just a random thought from yesterday:

i think if you could graft the front end---just the grill/headlight area of a 2011 silverado onto an older 73-91, but probably best if 81-91, it would look good.

than the original Chevy one, I thought.

The Chevy grille on my '86 looks fine, though.

I've thought about it too, but it would be harder than you think, and even harder to make it look decent.

The lines work really well, but unfortunately I never did get a photo of his truck.
