Trying to decide which grille to use in my 66 build (full Porterbuilt)
I have accumulated 2-1961 grilles one chrome and one painted
1-63 grille painted
1 64-66 aluminum grille
and about 4 misc 64-66 painted grilles
Just not sure which to use... So thought I would ask you guys opinion and post some pictures to help me decide..thanks

I have a 63 grill in my 62', and a lot of people think they look the best, but those 61' grills look pretty sweet to me. I like the 61.

The 1963 grille has always been my favorite of the 60-66 Chevy trucks.

'63 grilles look the best but of what you have on hand I would go with the chrome '61 grille.

Re: What model grille looks best??

So there you have the definitive answer. As many different opinions as respondents! Good luck on whatever you decide.

Re: What model grille looks best??

Thanks guys I always value everyone's opinion and Outlook
guess I am partial to the 61 since it is different and not something that you see very often.
