What do you think of my Phantom Grille. PICS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72chevyLWB · 08-18-2002, 11:15 PM

Tell me what you think whether you like it or absolutely hate it. I just want to know. Won't bother me if you don't like it.

72chevyLWB · 08-18-2002, 11:17 PM

The pics kinda blurr the bars together.

*Zkast* · 08-18-2002, 11:23 PM

That is one kick arse truck you have. Grill just sets off the rest of the truck IMHO

lux hauler · 08-18-2002, 11:24 PM

I like the looks of it.
I thought about putting one on mine but I've heard that it's a pain to get the hood open.
I guess it would be easier to mod the hood latch than it would be to change the whole front clip to a 67-68......hmmmmmmm?

Why'd you have to post those pics?!?!
Now I don't know what I want to do.....again?

weasel29gm · 08-18-2002, 11:24 PM

AWESOME, like the look!!!!!!!!!!! What does one cost?

RON WOODGEARD · 08-18-2002, 11:25 PM

DANNY,

Looking at it on makes me wonder why I didn't use it.. But it looks much better on yours then it would have mine.

VERY NICE TRUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

RON

chevy2racr · 08-18-2002, 11:35 PM

I think that looks cool, maybe it just needs a little somethign more, or less, can't put my finger on it, but somethings just a little not right in my mind, still looks cool!

71BBK10 · 08-18-2002, 11:36 PM

you have a VERY sweet looking truck, i hope you don't take this the wrong way but i think the other grill looked better, the phantom just seems like its missing something, anybody else feel this way?

71BBK10 · 08-18-2002, 11:37 PM

ok, i guess i must have posted the same time as bryce, so its not just me

sorry to get sorta o.t.

72chevyLWB · 08-18-2002, 11:39 PM

If you see the gap above the top billet bar and the grille shell, I can fit my fingers in there to open the hood. Or else you have to make a rod to open it from under the bumper.

lux hauler · 08-18-2002, 11:40 PM

The only thing that truck is missing is my name on it's title

colohusker · 08-18-2002, 11:59 PM

Don't know, but doesn't do a thing for me. Reminds me of a picture of a face I saw one time that someone had morphed the eyes off of, just smooth skin. On the one hand, definitely looks sweet, on the other it lost it's character. Ask me tomorrow and I'll like it..

Dropt72Shortbed · 08-19-2002, 12:06 AM

id like it better with out the bowtie

Dropped67step · 08-19-2002, 01:32 AM

Where did you buy it and how much $$$$$$$$$$ ? Thanks B.

Super Chevy · 08-19-2002, 01:42 AM

I like it, but mabe a rollpan would set it off? still looks good though

**Tim Christian** · 08-19-2002, 06:03 AM

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

*big71* · 08-19-2002, 07:21 AM

that one sweet ride bad ass grill

JUSAO69 · 08-19-2002, 08:26 AM

Very Sweet. Can you give details of your drop, what parts and who from.

chevyman 68 C/10 · 08-19-2002, 08:26 AM

I like the grille but the bow tie needs to go to smooth it out.

Grim Reaper · 08-19-2002, 10:16 AM

Looks great! I like that sucking up the whole world look. It reminds me of those robot dudes from battlestar galagtica LOL

Smooth68 · 08-19-2002, 10:29 AM

Very sweet grill! I'd like to see it with out the chevy emblem though....

**COBALT** · 08-19-2002, 11:20 AM

I'm not huge on phantom grills. Part of the huge draw for me with these trucks are the original grills. I don't see the point in messing with them. But, even if I don't like that sort of thing it looks like you've put some good work into it, so I gave it an "ok".

nroden · 08-19-2002, 11:48 AM

I like that on your truck. Thats one nice truck. Like the wheels too.

VNMOUS · 08-19-2002, 12:15 PM

WISH THEY MADE SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR MY '67.!

72chevyLWB · 08-19-2002, 01:32 PM

Glad to see that people like it. I got the grille from RON WOODGEARD. I traded him a billet grille for the Phantom Grille. They run around $350 new. There are extensive modifications that you have to do though. Somebody asked about the drop. It has 3" drop coils(going lower next year though) and a flip kit in the back. Torque Thrust II wheels. I put the bow tie on to break up all the open area. I will take it off and post a pic and see if it looks better. I like it with the bow tie. Another thing I might possibly do is put an aluminum bar all the way across the center of the grille. Maybe though. I like how it looks now.
