I have a grille assembly from a '57 Chevy 6100 that I have advertised here and on Craig's list. I have a possible buyer from Craig's List who has a '57 Chevy 5400 that he needs a grille for. I think that the grilles are the same, by my measurements. Can anyone confirm that the grilles are the same size? Thanks in advance J Patton

While I cannot confirm it, I believe your right that it will fit.

5400 is an LCF. I know the 58/59 has an extra bar in the grill to make it taller, not sure on the 55-57 though. I think on that year, the grill is the same, they make the height up in the panel between the grill and hood.

Yes, 55-57 grille bars and legs are the same.

The Upper and Lower Grille Panels are different.

Thanks to all that replied. I see the differences in the 2 grille assemblies. JP
