Man I like those slots, slicks, and raised white letters CT. Now you've gotta update your avatar. Grill? All a matter of opinion I guess. Since you're askin though, I think I'd try to shorten and/or pinch the frame rails in front of the front crossmember and go with a grill with lotsa shape, like a Hudson Terraplane or similar. Either home made or scrounged.
 
That truck looks tough Tom...
The best idea I can offer is to take a look at Tiny1's thread on the truck he and his friend just finished. The grill was laid back and was very cool lookin on that ride.
 
Yep, it's coming along really well. Looking at your front and you mentioned dual headlights, maybe something along the lines of the Little Deuce Coupe grille. You have a fairly wide expanse to cover up there, so something like this would do it.

Looking good Tom..
I love that back window, :p
I also am a big fan of the aluminum slot wheels..
I need to find a set of those ;)
 
Cool truck Tom. What kind of frame is that?

it's an s-10 front clip zed heavily to a 41 frame.i really wanted a strait axel set up but the funds are low on this project ,so far i havent spent anything just traided for parts.Five slots have always been my favorite ,have them on all my builds!
the strering box creats some problems for the radiator as fare as a 32 grill ,and i allways wanted to do a double head light set up any how .
i'm gonna make some frame horns and a hand made laid back grill ,kinda a cross betren a 34 ford and 41chevy truck but moulded in with duels ,i guess any ways .
Not gettin too serious with this build ,just wanna have some fun !
has any one herd a strait 6 with a flowmaster in it ??:rolleyes:
 
Build it your way

Looks good and you built it your way. That's the best part of any build. Nice paint job too. Keep up the good work.
