1954 grill parts

[gale]

I need just the bottom pan for my 1954 Chevy grill.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I got this, I may be able to help. It just pulled the rivets out of the marker light. Pushed it back a little, but repairable. You can see the rest of the truck here. http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/wh...07302542438277

Chev's of the 40's has new, painted grilles for around $600.

Thanks. I ordered a catalog from them. Page 10 showed the apron beneath the grill and just behind the bumper. Page 1 shows the grill exploded but doesn't list the parts other than the center nose piece.

I was getting my grill ready to go out for re-chroming and noticed two repairs on the bottom piece. Turned out they were full of Bondo covering a very crappy welding job. If I repair my grill I'll have to cut out two spots about 2" long with a compound curve. That equates to a lot of work to make the repair smooth enough to cover with chrome.

I just need the bottom piece just above the apron. If yours is bad I could use parts of it to patch mine. Do you want to sell parts?

I bought another parts truck with a good grille, but the nose piece is smashed.

I was planning on trying to sell the whole grille, or grille minus nose piece.

It's still on the truck right now.

The nose piece is usually first to go. Let me know if you decide to part it out.

My lower piece cracked at both inside curves and a previous owner did a horrible repair. He was probably proud of it because the filler and paint looked good.

I can fabricate two patch pieces but I can see hours of work getting the compound curve just right for chrome.

You just need the part the markers are attached to, right?

I went out to look at yours when Chapman was working on it.

Drop by anytime.
