Does anyone know when the chrome grilles became available again? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 433 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 433 | I have seen the same one on Tim's site... Although, I do like kcsa75's link... Download size is only 18M... I like seeing them as working trucks...

Good guess, Cletis. October 1953.
Chrome grills, hubcaps, and bumpers became available in 1954, RPO-393 Chrome Equipment (but, this option is not shown in the 1954 Truck Data Book that came out in June 1953). It is shown in 1954 TRBs that came out in late 1954).

Great cover photo on the brochure. No optional/after market rear bumper on the red pick up. Is the driver of the COE waving hello or signaling a right hand turn? Have you noticed how many trucks have copied design elements from the bold 1954 grill - including the late model Dodge pick ups?
