Much better without the monster bumper. This one is begging for 'the treatment'

I hate the stainless headlamp bezels on 69-70 too. I'm getting old

Yes and no. Original '69 grilles were smooth eggcrate, like the 71-72s. The '70 grilles have raised areas where they are painted silver for a louvered effect. All the aftermarket I've seen are shaped like the '70, but painted like the '69. Black eyes all the way!

This is correct^^^.
I have an NOS '69 grille ordered from GM back in the mid-90's and it is painted just like a '69 grill,... (silver in the middle,... and black around the edges),... but it's actually a '70 grille with the raised edges.

Gringoloco's truck has the perfect example of a correct '70 inner grille paint scheme.

**lolife99** · 01-04-2012, 01:02 PM

Same truck with the '69 inner grille paint scheme,...

gringoloco · 01-04-2012, 02:55 PM

Sorry to continue to hijack, but notice the outers are different, too. I currently have an original (top pic), the other was a repop (bottom). You can tell where the black lines continue through the turn lamps to the headlights- on NOS/aftermarket, they stop just past the markers.

Now back to your awesome truck/thread

shawno72 · 01-04-2012, 05:26 PM

Come on Rene the suspense is killing me. I wanna see some new pics with the bumper installed. If not I'll have to go home tonight and install mine

just to see a new chrome sport bumper. Really I just love to watch you work these trucks over....Hey are going to bring this one to Turlock??? Please???

BB72CHEVKT · 01-04-2012, 05:45 PM

oh man you are the KING!

Shawn, Sorry to keep you in suspense but the bracket deal fell thru, on to plan "B"

Yes, it will be at Turlock, I have one there every year with a price.

Thanks.

shawno72 · 01-04-2012, 06:46 PM

Ok then I will be forced to show one pic of mine with the new bumper just to keep the pics going. That ok???

shawno72 · 01-04-2012, 06:48 PM

Hey a couple of years ago I stopped and talked to you and Kevin. I didn't know you then but I remember Sancho, this was before the sancho label I believe. My question isdo you know if Kevin is gonna have a tilt for sale there again at that same low price as he had a couple of years ago?

mcbassin · 01-04-2012, 08:08 PM

Thanks Gringo and Keith for straightening that out for me. I have owned my 70 for 26 years and didn't know the exact differences between the two.

Rene,
I agree with the statement above "you are the King"
what's next on the truck besides the rear bumper?

I'm guessing the the low price tilt sold that day,

but I'm sure if he finds one in time he'll have rebuilt one for sale for a reasonable cost and with quality next to none.

Thanks, but I'm just a regular guy who puts his pants on one leg at a time and loves trucks like the next guy.

I found some different brackets and should have the bumper on this weekend, speaking of bumpers Shawn lets have a up date. Also I think the 70' is going to get a CLR bath this weekend, will see how that comes out.

I figured it prob sold that day, was asking a VERY reasonable price. Check out post #174, my bumper awaits for the install. Would have done it today at the shop but I am waiting for the license plate holder which should be on my front doorstep when I get home. I will install in the morning and post some pics right after I do.

hemi jim · 01-04-2012, 11:51 PM

Another nice find. It looks like it could wind up being Sancho's cousin,"Rico Swauveee"! I need to get over there to see the progress. Maybe friday after lunch if your around?!!?!
