Need help w/ 53 Grill Teeth Location an Subdash

You guys have been great on helping with me with all your great ideas and references.

I came up with some Grill Teeth for my 53. I plan to chrome the stock grill and like the look with the chrome grill with teeth. Its cheaper than a 56 grill.

Can some one tell me the proper location of the grill teeth on the grill?
I'm looking for some refinance material or measurements. I'm not sure if they are to be straight or slightly angled.

Also does any one have a source for a sub dash for the f100s? I don't want to
cut up the dash to mount stuff, I'd rather mount under the dash.



Thanks

Mid Fifty has both the template for the grille teeth, and "extend-a-dash" panels. The template will probably be free, and I don't know how much the dash extensions are.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but what kind of glass problems are you having?

The shape of the bottom of the grille teeth will dictate the angle, no worries there. You should be able to place them without a template, just look at a couple of pictures of other trucks and you'll see how they are spaced to look "aesthetically pleasing to the eye".
