Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
So, aside form the hole locations, what are the other differences between the 60-61 and the 64-66 front panel?
I used just a couple of bolts to fasten my 61 grill to my 64, but it was snug and didn't feel quite right.

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
here are some shots of a 60 grille on a 64-66 panel-
you can see the indent for the single lamp, and where the 3 new holes need to go, and also how close the high beam wire is...

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
Ok, so I'm new to the 60-66 world. Just acquired may be a 64 or it may be a 63. I read in another thread the cabs on the '60-'63 and '64-'66 are different. Can anyone share the differences?

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
the first picture is of a 64-66. The second is 60-63. Look at the door and front glass profile. The 60-63 have been referred to as "knee knockers" for obvious reasons. Hope this helped and welcome! You'll find people here are really helpful.

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
Go for it man. Just know you have to shorten the Chevrolet by 4 or 5 inches. I just removed a small chunk from in between each letter. Here's how it's sits as of last week. I'm painting everything this week. U can see what's been done on my build so far. But here she is.

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
Awesome! Didn't know that. I do know my cab is indeed a 64. So I'm guessing all front sheet metal in the 60-66 range is all interchangeable?
I'm loving your front end brotha. I acquired a 66 GMC grille as well. And me having a 59 Apache, of course I'm down with 4 headlights! Haha

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
How far are you shimming out the grilles and what are you using for shims?

Re: 60-66 hood and grille combos
Curious about the grille on the 63. Is that stock or does anyone know more about it?
