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

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

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

Re: AD Grill
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.

Re: AD Grill
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.
