57 grille guard

[44th Miss Inf]

I am cleaning up around my grand parents old place, and found what looks to be a factory grille guard for a 57 Chevy pick up. In speaking with my father, he said it was on the 57 he bought in 59.

It looks factory made, but I have not seen anything to prove that. Does anyone have any information on one?

I'm going to clean it up and straighten it out, as it looks bent up on one end, and hang in my shop, but am just curious about it.

Thanks

Virgil
