My granddad's '69 swb
Just about done! Still needs little stuff: seatbelts installed to pass inspection, turn signals are balky, may need new shocks, horn button doesn't work, windshield washer doesn't work, driver's door latch is very worn, etc. But she runs and looks good!

Gotta put in a plug for the man who did the paint and bodywork. He did a great job.

Looks better with the hubcaps on. Yes, I know the truck caps weren't chrome but these were easier to find.

Thanks! I am. There's only one thing missing - the man who used to drive it. He's been gone since 2003.FoMoCo wrote:Very straight and super clean. You must be very proud. Nice and simple

Re: My granddad's '69 swb
Great looking truck. Very clean and I would be proud to own it. With that being said, why not a steel grill? You have the white front and rear bumpers, steel wheels, but then the aluminum grill. I would go all that way and do a steel grill too. It would look 100% perfect. This of course is just me and the truck looks great as is.

I don't think they offered a steel grille in 1969 did they? If so, I have never seen one. I've only seen the steel 1967 grille. If anyone has a 1969 steel grille for sale, I would be interested.

Is that three on the tree? in a couple of the pictures the way it's hanging/positioned it looks like another spoke in the steering wheel.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
