Looking at a 54 Cheve COE, and wondering if the smaller (1/2, 3/4 ton) truck grills will work. Did some searching around and from what I understand the 47-53 bars will swap, but what about 54 setup? Its all about the chrome, you understand.

The smaller truck grilles wont interchhange,,but theres someone here,,just in the last couple days that has a really nice grille for a COE that he mistakenly bought.
Take a look in the "parts for sale" section.

Thanks Marty, is this the 1.5 ton grill 1bad54 has for sale? Will a non COE "big truck" grill work on a COE? Sorry, new to the big stuff..

That conventional '54 Chevy Big Truck Grille, will not work in a '54/'55 Chevy COE.

Thanks for the help. Was hoping to save $ with a re-pop chrome small truck grill, oh well...
