1961 or 1963 chrome grille

[bowtieguy61]

ive looked and looked, can someone point me to someplace that sells 61 or 63 chrome grilles. i seem to only be able to find 64-66 grilles. or has anyone had one chromed before. if so, who did it, how did it look, and how much was it? thanks

In the aftermarket all you can get are new reproduction 64-66 grilles. I have a 61 4x4 and been looking for the same thing, can not find them anywhere. I guess there is not alot of instrest for the companys to make new 60-61 grilles. Its also the same with 62 and 63. If I end up getting mine chromed I'll let you know how much it was. Jeremy.

i think the problem, is almost all the years up to 64 use a different grille, and from 64-66 they all use the same. so they dont deem it cost effective to make a grille that will only work on 1 year.

I just won a chrome grill on ebay It by no means is show, but nice. I was qouted around 350.00 to chrome mine. Keep in mind the condition of the grill will determine the final price. I was thinking of getting it powder coated "chrome". But the next door neighbor belongs to a lowrider club and they get there chrome done in Mexico.So I'm planing on sending mine done with there next load.

ive never seen the powder coat chrome, i have seen the silver that matches old rally wheels. how does the powder coat chrome look?

I have a 62 grille in perfect shape on my truck, painted to match. I think that the grill looks like crap, not because of the paint, but the design, do you guys know if any other years will fit in it's place? I would really like that dual headlight setup if it will fit. Any suggestions? Thanks

I just got a catalog from Scott's Super Trucks in Penhold Alberta.It lists 60-63 chrome grills exchange. www.scottssupertrucks.com

I can't remember, but I think it's Chevy Duty that sells the original grilles that are chromed, but you have to ship them your old grille. Check there website, if not, I know one of the truck parts suppliers on this website should have them.

As for which grilles interchange, they all interchange. Just some years have a few extra holes holding them to the inner grille panel.

i put a 1960 grill on my 64.the top two holes were the same so i put those two bolts in and then marked the other holes.i pulled the grill back off and drilled the holes.the four bulb wiring harness will plug right in.

Eastwood shows it to be a high luster Chrome look. It is not as shinny as plating but cheeper

Speaking of chrome grills, does anyone make repro GMC grills?

[stepside66]

I have a near mint condition 62 grille it lacks a head light bezel but I sand blasted it and primed it

[63sbssbbw]

'60,61&'63 are by far the nicest looking grills
painted,pwder coated or chrome
imho

[bowtieguy61]

so will a 64-66 grille go on my 63 and look like its meant to be there? is the only difference the bolt hole locations? or would i need the light buckets also?

I have a '63 grill for my '64, but its aluminum not chrome.

I thought only GMC got Chrome grills.

I like the grille on my 62...in great shape,slightly out of shape around the pass headlite where the fender got bumped a long time ago.Would love to have it chromed.
