DatDoug Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Had this grille from a 79 lyin around and wanted to see it on my KC.

datsunaholic Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The "newer" ones look pretty good all black. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I like the earlier one with the chrome rings. Let's see an all black newer one... Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 i pulled my late grille off because it looks like poop. but thats my opinion. i say keep the original one on it. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Yeah...it looks pretty mean.:cool: I like em both, but the newer one has a certain awesome factor. Quote Link to comment

DatDoug Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I like the new look, looks very good, now you can give me the rings for my truck HaHa I knew you would say that! If I do go with the 79 I will sell you the grille:D As 4 the black, I am more of a gray/charcoal guy. I dont like the black. Quote Link to comment
78kingcab Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 just painted black........think if i had a older one with rings in good shape i might have gone that way....always searching for a chrome one.... Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I like the old one with the rings much better Quote Link to comment
Bandit240 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I always liked the late model grilles with the slats painted another colour. I had this one on my 78 for years. It was black with red slats. Better pic even though the truck is wrecked. Quote Link to comment
mike Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think the later ones look good with the fat tires and the lowered with a rake look. If it were mine Id put a camaro chin spoiler under there though to go with the rallyes:cool:. What color silver is that and where did you get it? How close is it to the OEM color of the early grilles? Quote Link to comment
cody Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 i like mine... how its all chrome... :P Quote Link to comment
LCDC Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm not a fan of the new grills, but I gotta say. they do look dood done in black. Darnet shoulda gotten a pic. A buddy of mine put a newer one on his 74 and painted his valance black as well on a butterscotch truck. Looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Like the ring look. I'll be going with the rings on my 78. Just a little touches of chrome here and there. Larry Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 The reason the newer ones look best painted black is because it looks more like the much nicer old style. Old style rocks. Quote Link to comment
