grill support differences - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey,

I posted last week about info on converting my 63 grill to 64-66 due to availability.

I noticed in my product search that the grill supports also changed after 63. Looking for info on the difference. If I see something online I want to be able to act on it without any doubts as if it will fit. I started to bang out the damage from the deer and might be able to salvage some of the 63 grill but the support has a few twists I can't 'un-bend' HA!

From what I can tell it may just be the location of the headlight support mounting holes.

As always thanks in advance!

The 60-62 grille support panels are different at the cutout of the frame because of the height difference of said frame. The 63-66 supports are the same except for the 64-66 supports have 3 holes each side for the grille. I used a 64-66 support for my 63. Drilled two new holes and was good to go
