Tube Grilles

Does anyone make a nice tube grille that will fit into the split-grille '70's trucks? Like say 1974?

Or are we stuck with the "stock look"?

I am not sure if they make one for the split grilles, but I think you can swap the entire front clip for a 78-79, and they do make tube grilles for those years. Just a thought...

Keep it Rubber Side Down!

Well, I have a broken grill, so I thought I'd upgrade to a nicer style while I'm at it.

Can you put in the later style grills without changing the hood and fenders?

I have seen tube grills available for the split grills (sorry, can't remember where though). It involves cutting the old grill and reusing the area around the headlights.

Just up to '79. I put a '79 grill into my '73, just swap parts and drill a couple holes, easy.
