I know that the hood and fenders on the big bolts are different than the 1/2 ton trucks, but are the grills the same. I am talking about the 47-53 chevy grill style.
Thanks

The 1.5 ton & up grills are taller & the grill bars themselves are about an inch taller then in the smaller trucks. You can use the larger grill bars to build a grill but you need the side & middle braces from a smaller trucks to do so.
