My 57 grille has several dents and sweeps which are discouraging me from undertaking a proper repair job. Photos of customized TF trucks often show chrome or SS grilles which consist of just several horizontal bars. I have looked in several catalogs, but don't see these grilles offered. Anyone know what companies offer this product ??

Brothers makes a billet center section for a 55-56 truck. A little body work to your 57 fenders and a 55 upper grille mounting panel and it's over. That's the way I went on my 57 because of the crazy price of a 57 grille. You can also check with JW Enterprises at customgrills.com, I think that he makes a tube insert for the 57 outer grille surround.Good luck

Russell,

Here are some ideas...

Vintage Corvette Grille Teeth

Have you parooozed the local scrap metal yard for interesting bits?

You can drill out the rivets on the grilles and replace the bad pieces. You might setup an Ebay search that notifies you (by email) when a '57 grille is listed.

Good luck!
