Installing front park lamps/turn signals on '52

I just bought new front parklamps/turnsignals for my '52 half-ton. I can see no way to install them without removing the entire grille. Problem is...I can't figure out how to remove the grille. Any pointers?

On my 49 the park lights mount on the top of the 2nd bar. there are holes toward the outside edge that the studs go into and then you have to fish the nuts up from underneath. If you took the hood latch plate out that might give you more access from up top.
It's a royal pain to remove the grill.
Good luck

Thanks. I finally figured it out. I removed only the top rail of the grille and that gave me enough room to get the lights in. Still a major pain, but much easier than removing the entire grille I am sure.
