[img] http://www.stovebolt.com/forum/actp/GRL_54s.jpg[/img] "We are selling them for $650.00 ea. plus shipping/handling. Our part number is GRL-54." I've seen the originals (re-chromed) for sale at swap meets for $1,200.00 or more. Go to American Classic to see more about it. Just thought I'd pass that along for you guys. Is this advertising? Yep. And I'll bend the rule for anyone who does as much for this web site as Pete does.  Regards, John

The only thing I wonder is how many 54/55.1 owners prefer the chrome versus a painted grille. Perhaps I'm biased because my 54 has a painted grille, but I actually think a painted color-matching grille flows better with the front of these trucks. I wonder what others think? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | Greg, been thru that chrome no chrome deal before but I can show you what I think... click here

I like them.
