does anybody know if they make a phantom grill for the 73-80 body style?????

tvblazer78 · 03-25-2009, 04:34 PM

I don't think so, plus it would not look right with that year.. 81 and up they have one.

factory2wdblazer's · 03-28-2009, 12:34 AM

nice looking truck, perfect color really stand's out .......the sport mirror's would look nice..........

JohnC · 03-28-2009, 08:19 AM

LMC has some of the euro clear side markers. Those would look cool. Just the regular clear ones, I think would look out of place with that color.

warpig98 · 03-28-2009, 10:05 AM

thanx you guys. i think i decided to stay with the amber markers. like the idea that they kinda blend in with the truck. i gotta start on my interior soon, but having a hard time finding the seats that i want. grrrrrr....

i'm welding all of the holes shut and then smoothing it out and painting it body color, with "chevrolet" painted over on front passenger side of it. will look like my hood does.

thanx for the coments guys. its taking LOTS of time and money.

flamingbig10 · 06-11-2009, 12:11 AM
