Chuck Most Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The headlight bezels and frame were anodized aluminum, the insert was plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 '71-'77 Chevy and GMC full size G-van grilles were stamped steel, and from '78 and later were plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybrush Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 thanks you for the information... so if i understand right 71-77 chevy van grills are made from steel and the headlight bezels are aluminium and the pickups have aluminium frame grills with plastic inserts is that right? maik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I owned a 74 Chevy pickup once it had a die-cast or pot metal grille very heavy too, we also owned a 73 Chevy van cheap one with a stamped steel grille that was painted.
