Re: 55 Chevy Truck Grille on a 57
Ancient thread and a controversial one but swapping away from the 57 grill was pretty much standard procedure in the 70's. I wanted to do it on the 57 Panel I had in the mid 70's and Hardwa's photos show why I didn't. I actually traded the panel back for my 48 before I found a 55/56 nose.

Re: 55 Chevy Truck Grille on a 57
Grill was on eBay many years ago. It’s for a 56 Chevy and I had to use an original 56 grill shell and Chevy upper and lower valance. Had to make the hood grill from scratch. My father in law Was a machinist and he made the pieces, I fitted them, and a buddy tig welded it for me.
