Boardrider,
Whoa!!!! Look at the acres of sweet original chrome on that front end. I admit, custom grills that they make for Chevy's look great and GMC's are non-existant AND the GMC looks a bit utilitarian, but I love my GMC front ends. One guy put some D*$%GE honey comb stuff behind his GMC grill that kind of de-emphasized the big black holes that looked pretty good. Your Jimmy looks fantastic, how long have you had it?

You're in Phoenix? Must be across the valley from Chandler, because I know I'd remember seeing a Jimmy that sweet...
