Post by: cmexlr8 on September 29, 2008, 12:55:00 pm: It looks good. A blend of of old and new(kind of resembles late model grilles)

Can I put together something like that for my 83?

After staring at the catalog cover long enough, it looks like he took one of their billet inserts, and took a cut down piece of rib from a wood bed floor, then attached a bowtie to it.... For yours you probably can did it with the insert for your year....

The strips on a stepside are only about 1" wide, so it can't be that.
