Grille for a '63 panel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nadodave · 03-21-2019, 05:29 PM

Hello:

I am sneaking up on having my '63 Panel roadworthy. One key items remaining is the grille. Mine is probably fixable, but really want a chrome grille and I am guessing that it would be $1000+ to redo mine. There also do not seem to be a lot of '63 grilles around. At the risk of being banished for heresy, will a '64 grill fit without much modification?

Thanks in advance

PM sent...and, yes, a '64 and up grille will fit.

There was a guy on here who had his steel grille powder coated chrome. Looked amazingly similar to the Silver Anodized original finish.

nadodave. Save your grille for parts if it's in to bad condition. The supports come up as a sought after item.
