1963 grille

[jlcoff5089]

I have a chance to purchase a 63 Stepside. The grille looks to be damaged and from what I see there is no replacement for a 63 grille. My question is, can a grille from later 60's be used in it place, since they are available?

Thanks,
Jan

Hit up some junk yards or search Craig's List. They are out there and the original used OEM parts fit so much better than the aftermarket replacement parts anyway. Good luck! Tom

Painted 63 Steel grills come up for sale as much as Silver Anodized Aluminum grills. Craigslist is a good source. Is yours painted?

63 grills can be found, but yes....you could mount a 60-66 grill in place. The 63 used 4 mounting holes per side and the rest used 3, but they all use the same grill support.

yes any of the 60-66 grilles can be used. i am actually putting a 64 on mine.

I've got a 60-61 grille in my 63.

I, and others from this site, have bought parts from this guy. Very fair and honest.

Not to nit-pick but don't all 60-63 grills use four mounting bolts per side and the 64-66 uses 3?

I think you are correct but the 3 fit in 3 of the 4. Im not a hundred percent sure on that but I do know they fit

I think you're right.

per Renee aka c-10 king all grills will interchange with no modifications on the 62-66.

Yeah well. The c10 king is my uncle...and I thought him everything he knows!
