winter grill cover

do you have a pic of the clips and screws thanks

I don't. The screws are just sheet metal screws. The loops somewhat look like a footman loop that has been bent to a point in the middle. That "point" sticks out to one side. The "point" side is mounted away from the grill cover so it holds the cover when you slide one of those oval metal gromets over it. Hope that dosen't totally confuse you.

That's because the photos of the mounting clips are not posted yet... They are mounted on the truck and will be shown as soon as I get around to updating the page...

I'll try to get to it tonight when I get on the "correct" computer...

The mounting clips can be easily made from some heavt gauge wire, about the thickness of a heavt coat hanger. In fact you can probably get a couple of heavy coat hangers from your local dry cleaner (the heavt ones they use to hag drapes and other heavy cleaning on, not regular shirt hangers.

If Cabell can't get pics of the clips let me know and I can try.

OK, I just went and added the photos that I took last year when I installed the winterfront on my truck (hard to think that it's been two winters and I'm just now getting around to posting them to the site... ). I didn't see any with just the clips and the self tapping screws. I'll have to see if I have a spare in the toolbox. If so, I'll take a photo and will add it to the page.

Meanwhile, I think that you can get an idea of what the clips look like and how I installed the winterfront on my truck.

The clips are the same as the ones used to mount winterfronts on the 2.5 and five ton trucks...

looks good thanks for updating the pics

got a grill cover, anyone got the mounting directions with clip locations? thanks

I have a copy of the installation TB but it doesn't show the pieces that well. Here are a couple of photos from my Pics folder from when I was installing it on my truck. The exact placement of the loops is done best by putting the cover up on your grill and marking around the edges where the loop slots are. I used chalk, visible in the photos, to mark mine.

Worse comes to worse you can do what the Kmart parking lot mechanics do and wedge a piece of cardboard in the grill.....

Hey...redneck tech works! When I was younger, we all used a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator in the winter. I discovered a few years ago, though, that a piece of perforated hardboard (the pegboard used in the shop for hanging tools, etc.) worked better in my full-size Dodge van. I cut it to fill the entire space and the holes let just the right amount of air through to allow for decent warmups and no overheating. It looks better than cardboard, too.

Yeah but there's just something about seeing that Chickita Banana logo looming in the oncoming lane !
