Double hoop grill guards - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Clyde65** · 09-29-2011, 12:15 PM

I am looking for pix of these and also if anyone has a complete unit for sale. I am wanting to get one for my dad if its not too high.

They had a flat chrome plate kind of that held the two hoops together.

Thanks,

These threads might point you in the right direction. Perhaps what you are looking for is the Smash Hit Grille Guard.

Thanks for the info Clyde. Did you ever source your guard? I have the one pictured. In the back of my bed for now.

Just found one for myself, but I have to fab the two pieces of angle that from the back of the guard to the frame. Should be an easy job. Did you ever find one?

No, it's something I may find down the road but would like one.

I'll keep my eyes peeled. If I opt not to use it I'll let you know. I haven't made my mind up 100% yet. I just got the bumper guards on and they are starting to grow on me, but ive been wanting the grill guard for some time. Ive considered trying both (by modifing the bumper guards), but I feel it will clutter the front end. If somebody could photoshop it id be interested in seeing what it'd look like. The one I got was made in Waco Texas...Smash Hit
