1970 and a 1/2 pickup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Solver · 02-10-2003, 02:38 AM

Looked at this truck the other day . I think the guy called it a 1970.
Thought maybe this was a middle of the year change from 70 - 71
still has center bar but sure looks like egg crate background. Or maybe it's a canadian version (sorry canada guys)jk.Or maybe a GMC Chevy hybrid cause it has the verticle center bar
No I didn't buy it. decided it was a little to rough for me. But if any ones interested I'll bet I could get that grill for ya! CUSTOM

*racedvl* · 02-10-2003, 10:00 AM

Almost looks like a ford grill of some sort. . .

bobs409 · 02-10-2003, 10:18 AM

What do ya mean too rough? Looks "decently run in" to me!

Just waiting for it's second wind!

I could save that one. (and it looks like someone really should)

Looks like somebody took a chevy grill, a gmc grill, and some chicken wire to fit, the bumper is 71-72 chevy.

**Palf70Step** · 02-10-2003, 02:18 PM

I agree...looks like a farm truck...They hit something, had a GMC outer grill, meshed in Chevy headlight rings...Throw in some good ole chicken wire to keep the crows andbugs outa da radiator...Add the 71/72 bumper for effect and you have the hotrod of the hay field.

jeffbo · 02-10-2003, 06:44 PM

Well, whatever they did, it's definitley fugly.

What y'all talkin bout...that's fresh NOS man!
lol....fugly is right.

crazy longhorn · 02-11-2003, 12:33 AM

And I bet the guy was proud of that "custom grill" too

Hey Solver, you found that truck in Iowa right......dude you gotta quit pickin on Canada!

Solver · 02-11-2003, 12:49 AM

Yeah I know I don't mean to poke fun at the northern boys . Just to embrassed to say that these Iowa farmers do things like this. Baling wire is a farmers best friend.

crazy longhorn · 02-11-2003, 12:57 AM

Hehe! dont feel bad, the farmers here in Illinois do the same chit!

Tyler_69C10 · 02-11-2003, 01:35 AM

Is that a Ford grille? It looks kind of familiar...

JHickson6 · 02-11-2003, 01:36 AM

Hey, watch the Canadian talk eh!

weasel29gm · 02-11-2003, 08:43 PM

Thats a this and that grille, a little of this and some of that!!!!!!!!!!

EdB · 02-11-2003, 09:09 PM

I believe it would look better without
the blue bowtie. Leave the bullet hole
though.

Hey with all the chicken wire there you should look to see if there is a little duc-tape in there to!!:p Duc-tape, the world would be lost without it!

hobby67stepside · 02-12-2003, 05:46 PM

Hey, we Iowa farmers aren't that crude - it's just field expediency.

casey · 02-12-2003, 11:45 PM

I don't mind the canadian jokes, at least you acknowledge us,the guy who did the custom work on that truck awesome, I think every town was one of those guys.

O'l Buck · 02-13-2003, 04:00 AM

poor truck, whoever did that to it must have been having a really bad month.

ChevLoRay · 02-13-2003, 12:49 PM
