A few upgrades to the front clip on BIGBLUE - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I upgraded the bumper, grille and bumper guards on my '66 Chevy K20, BIGBLUE. Although it has been a while, I wanted to share the photos of the difference it made.

I could use some of those bumper guards...by chance do you have an extra set ??

How good do the headlights light up the road with those stoner lids on them?

Chief:

I have a good, used set of painted bumper guards. They are NOS and still have the boxes they came in. They are flat white and include the mounting hardware. They are $125.00, plus $12.00 packaging & shipping, via UPS, Ground.

They do alright. The factory headlights aren't that bright anyway, but they seem to direct the light down and concentrate it a little. I kept them on there because I couldn't easily remove them, because the adhesive tape was so stinking tough. I like the looks of them, so I left them on there.

I plan redoing my whites on the front end too. They really clean up the looks even with the paint worn. My truck is blue too.

looks really great, nice work

Thanks for the kind words and compliments. BIGBLUE doesn't get much attention, so I have to give her some love once in a while.
