What not to do
Wow, at first glance this looked like decent 1970 grille. (still over-priced)
As I started looking at the pictures I was wondering why the turn signals were attached to the bottoms of a 67-69 grille.
They trimmed the bottom of the 70 grille to accept the turn signals.
Now two grilles were destroyed for this, and the seller is still wanting a fortune for a destroyed grille.
Some things I'll never understand.

My guess someone was tired of dealing with the crusty 70-72 turn signal housing and made something to work. Likely didn't have much money in it(who knows how beat up the '69 grille was that they cut up).
It's on Epay, so you know they have to jack the price up. I have a very straight alum '67 grille and the original from my '69. I should get them sold so I can pay off the farm.....

for what this guy is asking for his grille. you could buy one from DC for about the same price. but since he is in New Orleans . that grille is most likely underwater right about now. you just can,t fix stupid. but i would like to at least slow it down for a little while.

I drove my '70 F100 every day from 1984-1996. I know what it was like trying to keep those turn signals working on an Ohio rust belt truck. Was a really **** poor design.
