I am not a big fame of phantom grills (and of course I prefer the 69/70 grill). My vote would be for the stock grill.

[ratrod67]

If the truck is highly modified use the phantom grill. If stock style use the stock grille. I'm not a fan of the phantoms either.

I love phantoms on customized trucks!

[jimmydean]

I agree with ratrod, if the grill matches the overall look of the truck, then go with that grill.

I like phantom grills, but it would look like ass on my ratrod truck because there is little "custom" looking stuff on my truck. So I just modified the stock grill.

[Terminus]

I like the stock grill better than the phantom.

I have to disagree wth the others. A clean stock grill looks great to me.

hummm i dont know i got a nice new paint job (pewter grey, lots of metalic) and i have 22s on the way. i think the phanton would go nice but the factory is cool to

[rauto13]

I like the phantoms. I plan on doing that in the future

[boogie67]

If it were me , id , do the stock 72 with a billet insert instead of the honeycomb stuff the look pretty clean, Ive got billet inserts comin for my 67 !

[1LoC10]

do the phantom then have the whole billet insert powdercoated black, and tint your headlights black also

the phantom grill is the best choice by far. i love the stock grills on these trucks, but if you are doing a custom build, why not give another reason for someone to come look at your truck. it's pricey, but stockers run up quite a bill too.

Custom Truck, Custom Gille. I like the phantom and want to do the same. Another question.

How easy to swap a 67 grill for a Phantom or older model grill? Is there a kit, is it a simple swap. Sorry for the newbie question.....but I am a newbie.

67 shortnfat, easiest way would be to swap the fenders and hood for a 69-72 set and then you could use the 71-72 surround and the phantom insert.

This is my second chioce next to stock(I love stock trucks,wierd I know ) This is a pick of my project afterburn when the PO had it prior to the fire and you can see chrome outer and black billet insert, looks way better in person, my.02 the pic is small due to that is his avatar pic on here although I don't think he comes around anymore.

I love the stock look

[phantom69]

i'd have to vote for phantom. i put one on my 69 and it looks awesome and i get plenty of compliments. it is a little bit of work to make them fit like; cutting your headlight bezels of your outer grille moulding, trimming your front fenders or the back of the grille itself, and you have to cut the headlight buckets off your radiator support just to get the lights to fit. but damn it looks sexy!

i like the stock grills but also like the tube grill inserts but dont care for the phantoms due to visability concerns// if you do go with a tube insert or phantom you need to plan on a remote hood opening mechanism
