Same as the rest of the truck. I swapped from the factory 65 hood that I had already painted.

Will a 4-5-6 chevy grille bolt on to a 63 chevy?

64-66 big truck grill for my 64 c10.
Bowtie removed from center(going to use it somewhere else on truck).
Chevrolet letter bar removed from top of grill and reattached in center opening. Everything rechromed and bar on letter bar blacked out. I saw this on another truck a few years back and loved the clean, simple look of it.
Sorry about the fire and water damaged grill surround, it hadn't been stripped and phosphated yet when I took this picture.

I am building a 62 C10 stepside, will a 64 grill with Chevrolet in black
letters printed on the top bar fit on a 62? The grill it came with is not a 62 grill but looks like a 64 which I never paid much attention too.

How hard would it be to swap from a 64-66 grill to a 61 4 light grill? Does it bolt to the core support the same? And probably just change the headlight harness?

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
 
The radiator core support is roughly the same, but the grill support is a little different from early to late trucks. The 64-66 uses three bolts per side, while the 60-61 uses four bolts. And I think the shape of the sheet metal is slightly different too. You can bolt it on though. I put a 60 grill onto my 64 and it works, but eventually I plan to swap on the correct grill support.

Here's mine, modified c60 grille with gmc hood. Figured I'd do something new.
