I believe there are some subtle differences between 39 and 40 chevy grills, but I am 90% certain it will work. You might have to use the 1939 top piece too. I am only speculating.

My advise to you is to forget about the grill and sell the truck to me. Obviously nobody will want a 1940 suburban with a 39 grill, so you will be a head of the game if you just give me the truck.

All kidding aside... Welcome to the Stovebolt page, and good luck with your truck.

gwater15. The difference between the '39 and '40 is as follows;
The '39 has a narrow upper bar and 16 lower cross bars.
The '40 has a wider upper bar and 15 lower bars. I believe these are the correct numbers but at least the '40 has one less bar than the '39. The lower bars are the same ones on both years. Also the '40 has parking lights on the top of the front fenders and has the '41 to '46 instrument panel.Hope this helps. ps. I have a 1939 Chev Suburban myself.

Could anyone help me find the exact location to mount my restored parking lights on the fiberglass fenders of my 1940 chevy pickup? Unfortunately I don't have access to a steel fender to make a template or take measurements.
Thank you
