Oh so he didn't have to do much then. That's not too bad.

Nope it was just a little pinhole that leaked when the truck warmed up

So this guy built his own grille inserts, and added 2 headlights. I think the 4 lights look good, but I wouldn't do them on my truck. I just love the billet, nobody makes one for the 73-75 style, so it looks like I need to get my aluminum tig welding down and build some of these bad boys

The one and only thing I like about chevy is those old 80s models with the billet grill that covers the head lights,god those are sick.
That's where my chevy love affair ends. You have a mock up of what you want to do yet?

They're called phantom grilles, I'd have to move the headlights back, and i think the bars would mess with the projector pattern so that's a no go. I'd make them just like that guy's but for single headlights.

Phantom grilles are doable though

If I ever get into an older truck I want one. I love them.
