    Sorry haven't been on much with the cold weather...truck has just sat...anyways I treated myself to a little gift and got this hood for $175 off craigslist today. Already installed.

    Yeah it's my very first car, a 72 Lemans, that's my baby. Used to be done up as a 455 powered gto clone but in the process of restoring original. (Inbetween my other Pontiac projects and the truck)

    94+ GMC grille conversion holdup...Are the front bumpers different??

    Also seems like the filler panel doesn't line up and contacts the radiator support. Anyone have this issue? It may just need the cooler lines rerouted a little and maybe a couple areas given a love tap with a body hammer

    Rear taillights don't work unless brake Pedal is pressed, otherwise no rear lights!!

Any ideas? The truck has some ghetto rigged areas I keep finding so not sure if its another one or a...

    I just picked up the newer style but looks like I'll have to drill to make it fit since I have the chrome cargo light that looks hideous. Any write ups on the conversion btw?

    Just picked up a 94+ grille at the junkyard today, its cracked in the middle area but I think that comes out when u put the aftermarket grille insert in anyways so now biggie...Also grabbed the bottom filler piece under the grille because that looked different from my 88 one.

    Also while at the junkyard yesterday, I picked up a 88 GMC grille to replace the factory Chevy one (I know they are basically the same truck but as a Pontiac guy I like GMCs) for $5. The chrome is flaking off it but was thinking of colormatching the grille anyways if I can get all the chrome...
