The bumper looks like a 57/58 cadillac. Not sure about the grille.

Re: any info on this grill and bumper combo

The grill looks to me like a home made job out of Home Depot's finest expanded metal, lol.

Re: any info on this grill and bumper combo

this truck was for sale at a swap meet I went to this weekend. the grill flowed well with the finders and it had just a heavy mesh grill every where else. truck had a lot of cool custom touches.

Re: any info on this grill and bumper combo

I've seen photos of about a dozen of these trucks done with Caddy Dagmar bumpers and very few of them look "right" At least the guy who did that one took a lot of time to fit the bumper to the truck and get it lined up quite well. I'd have to think that the bumper was narrowed several inches and they spent a lot of time fitting the fenders to the bumper trim.
