Re: grill replacement

Yep....putting in a grill is easy....though a repop grill may need slight modification. Sometimes the holes don't line up.

What year grille are you trying to replace? The 1963 grille mounts with 4 bolts on each side. 1964-66 has only 3 bolts per side. We need more info.

Here are a few pics of a 1963 grille and grille supoort.

Re: grill replacement

What year is your truck? If it's pre 64 I would strongly recommend trying to salvage the old grill.. Going to newer grill just because is bad....
