    As far as front tire size around here, there were no front skinnys in the mid to late 60s...none.

    WRONG!!!!!! VW tires were plentiful and about as skinny as you would ever want to run....................sorry.

    I'd give it two "As" for both effort and results. Looks a lot nicer, eh? Gary

    My vote is for the new look. It just flows better with the overall appearance I beleive you are going for. My $.02....
     
  14. New grill definitely, you know when you see something and it just works.... Great looking truck, love it. I'm really really fussy too.;)

    That grille will flow twice as much air also. You would never believe how much turbulence that silver grille was creating.

    Not so important that the tires be skinnier...mostly taller. Your ride looks early '60s, so they don't have to be too skinny.
