69 RR front valance

[bigmanjbmopar]

Anyone have pics of the from valance ? I think I am describing it correctly the body part that holds the grill.

Mine seems to be off like it was in an accident and one side is slightly higher than the other I am trying to figure out if it can just be replace or if major work needs to be done to straighten everything out?

i alway heard it called the grille filler or stone deflector

usually valances are pieces mounted below the bumper

Same here Stu.....Grille fill panel

Ok cool thanks guys that is the part mine looks like it was hit in the middle to passenger side, at first glance the drivers side looked low but then I realized the passenger side was hit and shoved up. See if I have the right pics here. looks pretty easy to replace what do you think easy hard? Do you guys see what I'm seeing?

if i am seeing things correctly,and i am wearing my reading glasses. It looks like to me that the bottom chrome trim on your grille is pushed up and it looks like i see a small gap on the passenger side between the grille and filler panel just inside the headlights.

yep the gill fill panel has a dent in the middle and is pushed in and up I think what happened is it was driven into a barrier or a pole or another car and the bumper may have been pushed in towards the grill on one side forcing the fill panel in and up more on one side than the other,

is the panel easy to change?

I'm thinking the bumper has been replaced once already found a Stockton re-chrome sticker inside of the bottom of it looks like late 80's?

Not that hard to change...Handful of fasteners and she's out. Maybe 10-15 minutes to remove
