Re: Whats The Difference?
I'll get a close up pic tomorrow. It is a rivit but not a pop rivit...

Re: Whats The Difference?
I just looked at my original 1972 sales brochure and it shows just like I have my 72 grill redone...

Re: Whats The Difference?
So,no black around the center of the surround,like in your picture?Were there any differences,or do people not realize that the original grilles have the paint faded/polished off and the new grilles aren`t accented?

Re: Whats The Difference?
Right, 69-70 had the headlight surround painted black. 71-72 had the plain stainless headlight surrounds, but 70 the grill surround had a black stripe like the pic I modified of ClassicStyle's red truck...

Re: Whats The Difference?
Not trying to add to the confusion but you've got me mixed up now. Should a 71 blazer have the black around the headlights?

Re: Whats The Difference?
That's a good one to know.
 I think 72 is when they started using synthetic blinker fluid and exhaust bearings too. |

Re: Whats The Difference?
Man, you guys are very helpful. I love this place already!
I'm hoping to go down and get that truck this weekend. I'm psyched...
