J-Trucks with cheesegraters

Post by Kaiserman »

So I scored an NOS cheese grater for $5. It's got some bends and scuffs from kicking around for the past 40 years but it's going to polish up great. And since it's a direct swap for my razor grille on the 71 I'm thinking it might find it's way on there.

Anyone running a cheesegrater on there J-Truck?

Nope, just used on 71-3 Wagoneers. Flints is the only one I could think of with a cheesegrater.

My '73 has one, I get a little giddy every time I get to park in the driveway and it's lit up by the headlights.

Good looking trucks. These pics have me seriously reconsidering my J Truck Rhino swap. Cheesegraters are pretty tough to find though...
