65 Grain Truck Grille to 65 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jake65 · 10-28-2011, 07:02 PM

Considering putting a grain truck grille into my 1965 chevy c10, wondering if it will bolt right up or if it will take some fabrication. Also a good place to find a decent one if i do decide to go that route.

Got a picture, interested in seeing what it looks like..

Jake65 · 10-28-2011, 08:41 PM

A picture of one in the truck or by itself?
Either way i would like to see the picture.

Super73 · 10-28-2011, 09:38 PM

No, I am wanting to see a pic. I don't know what it looks like..

Jake65 · 10-28-2011, 09:42 PM

Oh, sorry i was mistaken that you had a picture.

el minero · 10-28-2011, 10:20 PM

Is this it?

Jake65 · 10-28-2011, 11:16 PM

Yes, did that bolt right up or need to be fabricated to fit?

I think the mounting boxes have to be changed out for regular C10 mounts so the grill will mount at the right angle. I could be wrong though. There's a thread on here just for those grills, I'll try to find it and post the link here.

you also have to remove the chevrolet script that sits up on top.the one in the pic above has already been removed.

This isn't the thread I was thinking of but it has some good pics in it.

yep, remove the letters from the top, and switch out the headlight/grill mount brackets for the ones out of a c/10-20-30.
