I recently just bought a real nice 90 model 2wd that is going to be my racer, and the stock grille is ugly as sin so I bought a billet grille for it. I broke out the grille today and am looking to install, but I can't get the support brackets for the grille to line up for the life of me. Where the grille supports need to go, the condenser bracket is in the way. I can move the grille support brackets over about 4in and attach them to the grille with a long bolt, but I dont think it would look good. Has anyone else ran into this problem or am I the only one?

where did you find a billet grille for it?

 

Any pictures?

 

Did that grill orginally come with a kit to install an intercooler on those trucks?? Just curious if the mounting was on the intercooler backets??
Sounds like another custom install...


The Billet Candycane... I like it.. haha...

 

Crap, didnt think about the intercooler. I got to looking at it a little more tonight...think it will work after I get the tin snips after the mounting brackets and break out the drill....maybe

I'll post pictures after I get it installed.

 

yeah, the intercooler wouldn't fit behind the stock grille, so they included one of the billet units.

 

The only grille I have seen with the Banks kits were tube not Billet...

 

Guess I shoudnt of used the word billet. It is a chrome tube grille. Hope to have it installed tomorrow with pictures.

 

Got the grille on and took a picture of it. It wasnt too bad to install and there is defintely room behind it for an intercooler if I go that route one day. Here's a picture....I have some more if anybody wants to see them.

 

Hey thats pretty slick. Are the hood scoops functional?

 

Nice! where did you get that grille from?

 

I'm happy with the end result. No, the hood scoops are not functional, but that might be a project one of these days. I had to have the grille made through a website I found and took about a month for it to be completed. Not bad for 100 dollars though...

 

Any chance of a link?

 

Looks good... The Billet Candy Cane....

What's that sitting in the bed of the truck...

 

Dude *** over. What you can’t call a brother and let him know you bought another pickup? Hey I need to get your address again I lost it. Sorry for the delay. The pump is still sitting in my garage. I need you to try it if it works good then I know that the problem is something other than the pumps. I cant believe that I have two bad pumps. The test stand says other wise. If I don’t hear from you I will give you a call. Maybe you can send me some more pics of the new beast.
