Different looking grille for the right truck!

I've been thinking of doing something like this with a bent up aluminum 66 grille I've been hanging on to. Cool idea.

How about a tube grille?

I like a tube grill in some models, like the 73-79s, but not feelin it with the Slicks. Most of the appeal for me with the '65 is that grill. *droool*

I agree there is something about the 65 grill I really like to.

there's nothin to that grille. looks nice tho. if you had something cool to show off "fancy radiator"? it might be cool. I like the narrow billet grates they produce for newer trucks.

Saw a straight axle slick with a 65 grille, but the no turn signal upper panel, looked nice and took me a sec to figure out what i was looking at!

It'd look really sweet if instead of that fine mesh it had more of a honeycomb look like a newer truck. Almost looks like someone went to Home Depot and bought some window screen. I'm sorta digging it though.

ahh, yes, a honey comb would look nice in there... I think HE DID go to Home Depot... it is cool though... IMHO though, Home Depot grilles belong on beater 4x4s that got a boulder thru the front...

yeah I agree with the above 2 guys. if the screen were more opaque it might have been alright. That tube grille Slick posted is hideous tho.

My original 65 grill was "farmer" abused, so I installed an alum 66, wrecked the truck at age 17, fixed it back with chrome steel 65 again.
I found another steel 65 just in case I need it again someday. Funny how much cheaper CHROME was back in 1995.
