The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Reproduction 1941-1946 Grille

I stuck with an original grille. I bought and sold 5-6 grilles before I found one that needed little work. I found a painted NOS upper grille. I pretty much broke even on all of the buying and selling I did. All said & done I spent $27 for the upper and lower and then spent $900 for "show chrome" (the sides of the grille bars are equally as brilliant as the tops/fronts). Yes it was a bit more than a reproduction but I have also seen them and there is no comparison in the quality.

Here's a photo of the front of the truck at a show last summer. Good view of the original grille.
