Does anyone have an opinion as to which vendor has the best 1937 pickup grill for the best price? I'm sure one vendor is probably having them made and distributing them to the others. I'd like to buy from the one who has them made, but price will play into it.
Thanks!

I bought a reproduction 38 grille for my Master from D ick Moffatt, on Ebay. It was too wide so I had to send it back. They told me that "they are all that way". So personally I would be careful about that source.

I'm suspicious of any repop chrome part. I've found the fit & finish to be poor most of the time. It'll likely cost more but I'd locate a good condition OEM grill and have it rechromed.

Hi Joe, Check out I & I reproductions, everything I've see of theirs is first cabin quality.
Best of luck

I & I was who I going to recommend.

I bought a steel grill from a vender at a swap meet once, brand new. He had three of them and did I need one. $100 later I was happy and on the way home. Once home I figured out why he had so many of them, they were junk! I tried every way I could figure to get it in the housing, I even drilled out the spot welds so it could go in in two pieces. It didn't happen, I gave it to a guy in Texas who need a couple of bars out of it to repair his stock one.

I ended up just making mine from stainless steel bar stock.

Joe
