Replacement front grill - 69 d200

Post by Baz »

Does anyone know of any companies reproducing the 69 grill? Mine is fairly beat up. Any recommendations for a replacement 318 are also welcome!

know one re-pops the 68-69 grill, are you looking for the steel or aluminum grill? Post in part wanted section. any LA engines are (273,318, 340, 360) are strait swap ins (360 needs miner extra parts, but will bolt to trans).

I didn't realize that there were steel and aluminum versions, are there any differences other than material?

The steel grilles were painted. The aluminum grilles were not, they were bright. Which one your truck came equipped with was trim level dependent.

nice thing about a steel grill is you can have it stripped and nickel chrome plated! way shinier than the aluminum one!

I'm not sure about which direction to take this build, the grill might end up being painted body color. Chrome would be nice though.. :thinking
