A fresh start for this '69 (pictures)
Got this one about two weeks ago and the work is just beginning. First thing is to replace the bumper and grill so it'll look like a '69 again. Overall, this one's solid but needs a lot of TLC (maintenance). See pictures (below)

Old grill is far from perfect. Aluminum is not bad. Complete grill and bumper should be available after this weekend. When available, I'll post on the parts board. Thanks for the compliments everyone! I'm excited and can't hardly wait to be through with it but there's a lot of work that's gotta happen. I'm sure I'll be posting questions here often as I get moving.

Got the grill and bumper replaced and the little booster steps removed today. New used grill and bumper isn't perfect but at least it lloks like a 1969 again.

I really like the lower trim. Is it just a universal application? I'm thinking of adding something similar to my 67.

Trim
I think the trim is likely from a new style truck (it matches my '91). I guess it looks good but won't likely survive a year on this truck.
