Whats your favorite front clip? If there's a reason, tell us why

For me it's the 83-84 dual

(I think I have the right configurations in the poll)

** I know I messed up the poll choices, my apologies, I'm an idiot**

Any GMC grille is better IMHO, than the Chevy except the 73 74

First fav is the 73

Second is the 89ish GMC dual headlight
 
I liked the 74 GMC grille best--so much so that I kept it when I scrapped the K2500 I had..

I kept the grille from the '73 Chevy K1500 I had too..

I liked the round dual headlamps best,followed by the 82-85 dual square headlamp style..


Maybe there should be a "favorite bed style" next !..

I bet the short stepside would win,best looking one in my opinion,despite being the most useless as far as carrying stuff..
 
79 with the turn signal surrounds because my first truck was a 79 GMC. Stacked headlight 80's trucks, because they look good with phantom grills, And 89 quad light trucks because mine was an 89. Didnt like them at first, really grew on me.

I hate single square headlight trucks and base model trucks of any year.
 
73-74 was my favorite until I bought my 90 quad headlight Blazer. My least favorite is the 80 with square headlights. My dad owned one and it just looked out of place to me...:dunno:
 
Can we have the options fixed?

Why is 1975 and 1976 excluded?

1979(base 1980) should be a separate option from 1977-1978.

There is both a single headlight and a dual headlight a option in 1981-1982.

There is a dual headlight option in 1988.

89-91 dual in gmc trim .

but if I could improve it would get 8-82 trun signal bumper setup . and swap them for fog lights.
 
98-91 dual head light set gmc grille. Oooh! With a bowtie instead of letters. I just thought of that. Put a bird on that.
 
89-91 Dual. Just a clean look for an old body style. And, GMC did it better.

If the older year trucks were included in the poll,I'd pick the 1970-72 chevy "egg crate" grille as the best looking,the 60-61's with the "eyebrows" in the hood were very cool looking too,actually any 60-66 was among the best of the GM front ends.with the blinkers in the hood...the '67','68,and '69 front ends were good lookers also..

I liked my '56 chevy pickup's grille a lot too,some of the later 57-59 Apache's and GMC 's with dual headlamps were rather gaudy and overdone IMO...but I still would not mind owning one!.


I think all the older trucks had better styling and looks than any of the 88 and newer ones ...even though they may not be "areodynamic" they had style and class...
