Grille for a '63 panel

Hello:

I am sneaking up on having my '63 Panel roadworthy. One key items remaining is the grille. Mine is probably fixable, but really want a chrome grille and I am guessing that it would be $1000+ to redo mine. There also do not seem to be a lot of '63 grilles around. At the risk of being banished for heresy, will a '64 grill fit without much modification?

Thanks in advance

There was a guy on here who had his steel grille powder coated chrome. Looked amazingly similar to the Silver Anodized original finish.

Re: Grille for a '63 panel

nadodave. Save your grille for parts if it's in to bad condition. The supports come up as a sought after item.
