Can anyone point me to a hardware kit for the entire front end (body bolts, clips, etc.) of my '54 Chevy pickup?
Also, I want to check the prices for a new grill.
Thanks!
Alan

Alan,
Several reproduction parts vendors sell new 54/55 1/2-1 ton truck grills but I think they are all chromed. These chromed grills have all parts of the grill assembly chromed, but all parts were not chromed on 54/55 original chrome grills. Maybe someone who has bought a new chromed grill will post comments on fit and finish?
Does Truck Shop have a set of hardware (please post a part number, if they do) or do they sell all the hardware as parts (as most vendors do)?
Thanks,
Tim

Here's what I ordered from the Truck Shop:
(47-06503) 47-54 Front fender bolt kit $26.00 X 1 = $26.00
(54-00706) 54 Grill reassembly fasteners $20.00 X 1 = $20.00
(47-012111) 47-59 Bumper-to-bracket bolts Chrome $2.00 X 2 = $4.00
They have the chrome grill and also the plain non-chrome grill (like $600) ... I didn't buy either. I'd never buy the chrome grill ... I've seen them and they look like chromed plastic, if you ask me.
Alan

When I got those pieces of hardware, I had to order them by size and style (a PITA). I got them mostly from Totally Stainless in SS or in black-anodized SS (indented hex-head for fenders to inner fenders and inner-fender/radiator-cover to radiator housing/frame). Totally Stainless also has sets for different parts. Unfortunately, they do not have an on-line catalog but they will send a catalog.

My truck has been at the painters for over 2 years ... which explains my absence; nothing to talk about!
SS is definitely the way to go. If I had more time (the painter suddenly needed these, and pronto) and if I knew exactly what I needed, I would've ordered all SS.
Oh well. At this point, I just want my truck **back!**
