I like it just how it is.

I like those grilles black with the yellow bowtie and the 2 chrome strips across the front.

You're thinking of the '77-'79. '75 and '76 were similar but they had 3 chrome strips.

Mine are actually "Hurricane" style, the General Lee type had different looking centers, almost like they were designed to have a centercap that covered the lugnuts and all.

the general lee wheels are called vectors

i have set of 15x10 6 lug vectors

and 2 sets 15x8 for 2 wheel drive chevy truck

and 1 set 15x8 dodge pattern

i have a weird obsession with old school wheels
slotted mags,vectors,hurricanes,cragars,keystones and any old school wheel i collect them
i have probably 8 sets of slotted mags
