    Default Repro grill?

    Seeing what others think about the reproduction grill and pie pans. I am defiantly getting the grill, just not sure about how the pie pans will look in my 715. Here is my front end.



    Here is gladiator with the Repro grill and pie pans.



    Let me know what you guys think. I'm not doing a restoration, just doing things that make sence for the truck. Thanks for any comments.

    Here is the link for this guys work.

    Keep the grill. Lose the pie plates. Put in the m715 turn signals instead. Or if you are using the wagoneer turn signals, put in a couple of 5" driving lights.

    It's not hard to find good grills on ebay that can be painted for the m715.

    I think you are right Kwai. I started looking at some of the turn signals online. I also looked at eBay for the grill. The ones I saw were all over two hundred. I'm going to go for the Repro grill.

    Someone on this site had a machine shop manufacture rings that screw in, instead of the "pie pans". it was the same price to make one pair as several, so he took orders. He may have some he is still selling. Then you can install the late model truck turn signals that mount with the rubber gasket material. Click on my name and look at my photo album. There is a parade front shot you can see my turn signal lenses.

    I've got a set of 4" grommet-mount amber lights I plan on putting in that spot. I think the 715 turn signals look like the afterthought I'm guessing they are.

    Rollie, I think.

    I'd skip the grill. Personal taste, but they didn't come with one.
