Grille
Not sure what this bracket is made of can I use regular wire in my mig welder and weld a new nut on here? Any help would be appreciated... tonight I go and pull out my hair and see if I can't get the bottom two bolts in the front bumper.

Re: Grille
pretty sure the brackets are steel even on the aluminum grilles.
you could check it with a magnet.

Yes the brackets on the back of the 63 grille are steel even on the Silver Anodized Aluminum grilles.
