On the front end, there is a metal "strip" that goes across in front of the fenders. Its usually behind the bumper and right below the grill. What is this thing called? My 79 has a banged up front end, and that piece along with the fenders need replacin.

It's called a lower grille panel.

BigRed · 11-27-2002, 04:18 PM

Yep, and they're hard to find. Salvage yards are your best bet.

I didnt know what it did for sure. How long has this been on here?

BigRed · 11-27-2002, 05:22 PM

I don't know, I've never seen it before. But that definitely doesn't mean it hasn't been there before.

Edit:
That's cool, thanks for pointing that out. It's a fast way to reply. Yehaa.

**Captkaos** · 11-27-2002, 05:26 PM

It's called the front valence panel. I have 2 and one you could buy, but I don't know how it would get there if I shipped it.

Big Paul · 11-27-2002, 09:58 PM

Yep its a valance.

Brandon, I think its more for appearance, but it could help water run off too.

**Captkaos** · 12-02-2002, 11:44 AM
