In need of an AD grill bar, just one.
As many do, I need the second from the bottom grille bar. I have a third from the bottom shorter bar in the second from the bottom position that I put there 40 friggin years ago. I would like to have it right, damaged is ok just not too badly damaged. I have one of those already. LOL

Re: In need of an AD grill bar, just one.
Let me dig out a grill I have and see if that bar is on it. Then look at my grill and see what bar my son bent up when he backed into it. Amazing how two trucks can look alike and still be totally different.

Right on! Yeah, our trucks and our stories just crack me up! Too similar, it's wild.

Re: In need of an AD grill bar, just one.
Fought my way through the weeds to get out to where the truck and grill are and while the bar I have is reasonably decent outside of rust spots, mine is bent and I'll have to use that one to replace it. Matt got 3 bars when he backed into the truck with his Elkie. I thought he jut got the two middle bars.

I should say I gave a guy too much for that grill on top just to get the one good bar plus some other AD nose parts he had.

Re: In need of an AD grill bar, just one.
Damn, those second bars are a beach, they always get damaged. I guess that's why I used the third one up on the second spot, 40 years ago. LOL I have to think I probably could have went to the wrecking yard and got one for $20 but that was over my budget at the time.

Re: In need of an AD grill bar, just one.
The grill in my truck was originally made from pieces from three or four grills in 1973. Rechromed in 1981.
The truck broke down and my son towed me home into the yard and we unhooked the chain and went in the house. Next morning he went out to go to work and threw the ElCamino in reverse without looking back to see what was behind him. He had a real bad habit of backing up without looking to see what was behind him in those days havng already backed into the side of my Cad Deville.
