Re: Salvageable Grill?

My original chrome grill that I had in my truck in 1973 was assembled from bars from several donor grills. I live in McGregor Tx then and found the bars in wrecking yards around the Waco area.

That said if you didn't know, each of the three middle bars only goes in it's specific spot. The good news is you can snag individual bars from big truck grills so a bit of hunting should turn up a set of grill bars that can be used if you aren't able to straighten those.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
