Is the grill from a big truck like 1 1/2 ton different than a pickup's? Thanks for any info.

Yes, I believe the grille bars are thicker vertically, and the grille support frame is different as a result. Same width, though, I believe.

The grill will fit, but 1/2 ton support brackets are needed. I did that on my panel I used to have.

Each bar will only go in the space it is intended for. The middle three bars have notches on the back to show second third or 4th bar. That is if you are mixing and matching pieces from several grills.

Yes, they're different. I have a pair of support brackets for the big grill, excellent condition. That's how I learned the difference. LOL.
