WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Hey guys, I know that I will never find one but you can't blame a guy for trying can you???
Nicer the better but I will settle for repairable. Chrome prefered but again if you have one that is a factory painted piece please let me know. http://www.myclassiccar.com/CoolCars...ine-Dumkee.jpg |
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille

Mine was a nice painted grill that I had chromed. I have seenthem for sale on eBay, so you might want to watch there. |

Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Yes that's my truck.
I will keep you in mind if I come across another. I have a really nice 58 GMC grill hanging on my garage wall, but it is from a 2 ton fire truck and about 4 to 6 inches wider. |

Small world when it comes to the ol GMC's I guess. I tried to get one off an old dump truck a few years back and found it wouldn't work when I got there. I could have bought the whole running truck for $1500. Thanks for keeping me in mind. |

Thanks, I really like and enjoy my truck. I drove it for 13 years looking like this, before I took the plunge and paid to have it painted.

Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Please tell me where I can find that last truck!!!! I have been looking for that grille for years. PM me if you want to work something out. If you can talk the owner out of it I will buy it from you.
Actually I could use the bumper too. Thanks, Shawn |

Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Do you have signal lights to go in that grill? They are rare!
|
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
I don't have a thing! No brackets, no bumpers. Not a thing but I am determined to find it all.
|
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
I believe bumpers and brackets are reproduced.
The original signal lights are not reproduced and are selling for $700 - 1000 a set for NOS. There is a guy near you reproducing them and here is a quote from an email I recieved from him. "I made a set out of three pieces of billet aluminium that are water jet cut. Placed a bullet light which is very close to original. Mounted clamps on the back side so they could be mounted from the front without taking off the grill. Leo Ewing 10140 North 78th Place Scottsdale, AZ 85258 480-991-3366" I think he wants about $300 a set. I am in no way associated with him, but simply passing along his information. |
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
I will see what I can do for you but it will take a while. I got some outher stuf I have to get done
|
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
These are hard to find. But I've been thinking about selling mine: http://oldtruck.net/phpBB/index.php (under GM Truck Parts)
Relative to the bumpers, you can buy a Chevrolet bumper (original) and drill the additional holes (for the Dagmars) or just run it as a '59 and fahgetabowtit. I have to question whether modifying a new bumper would be worthwhile seeing as how the reproduction parts stores state that Chevrolet bumper guards won't work on repop bumpers (ie: the repop bumpers aren't true to the original shape) |

Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Hey thanks, I have checked back a few times. The pics are not too good at least not with my home computer. I will try to get a better look from work on Wed. I will let you know. Is that tailgate for sale?
|
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Agreed -- those shots aren't the best. But the images are pretty big (likely to exceed your monitors display limits) so if they don't fill your screen you can expand them through the browser.
The tailgate is on my driver and is not for sale at this time (though isn't it a gem -- super-straight and no rot). Thanks for responding. |
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Actually those are much better from work. Yes that is a nice looking tailgate from what I can see.
Expect a PM in the near future with a decision. I have sent a link to the pictures to my chrome plater to see what he thinks as far as how well it will come out. Thanks for the link. |
Re: WTB 58-59 GMC Grille
Okay noselander PM sent a back on 02/15. Did you get it? I haven't heard anything.
Thanks, Shawn |
