I was thinking where I could possibly get them or vendors on here that may have or know where.
A ton of knowledge on here

Thanks rickyshikers

I've been looking at those at chevysof 40's, they have the fiberglass chin and laser cut grill but still looking for a old one.
I bought one on the big auction site aqnd 3 minutes late saw it was for a car, so I had to cancel.

Yeah, that Laser cut grill is Probably for a Car.

If you choose them, I would Call first.

Truck and car grill for 38 is different as you know.

What is the difference for the car one to the truck??
Not the same info for both, Truck is saying 29-3/8" down the center.
the car saying The measurements are: 11-11/16 inches from center to edge at top of grille. Roughly 18-1/2 inches from top mount to top mount.

TOP mount to TOP mount, what the hay does that mean.

My Wifes Godfather had one of these.

He passed away several years ago.

I remember him telling me the difference of Car and truck grills.

I will try to find the link

Facebook is a good option as well, there is a guy in Iowa I think that advertises car/trucks from 20s to the 40s and he loves to barter. Eric DeMuynck is his name
