Have a friend in need of a 53 grill. Any idea where to look?

 

Where is he, I may have one but I am aways from OK.

 

I've always wondered about these guys:

USbody.com | Fiberglass Auto BOdy parts, Monster Truck and Full Race bodies. Molding fiberglass since 1987.

53-56 Ford Truck

 

He is here in the Tulsa area. Thanks for the offer.

 

He won't settle for a glass one.

 

Ooopps, he may just have to settle for a 56 model from Mid Fifty!! g

I made that suggestion but it fell on deaf ears. The truck belongs to a good friend who has owned it for many years. He bought it as a rust free, dent free, stocker and relishes in that fact. He had it another friends shop getting an alignment and one of the employees backed into it with a truck with a trailer hitch on the back. Wiped out the grill. So the shop owner is trying very hard to replace it with a nice 53 grill.

 

Hey Okiedokie,
The best I could find is this one in Lebanon, Tenn. about 500 miles East. He's asking $250 I believe. Greyhound has a freight service that's pretty reasonable for large parts. There is also a new one on Ebay for $800.

Good luck over there (except against the Longhorns).

I have a 53 grill he can have just pay shipping from Indiana, the headlight shell on the right side has rust through so if his is still ok he could reuse it on this one if interested let me know and I could get some pics of it but can't get to it until wedsday. Stan

 

You might try calling K C Obsolete Parts in Miller, MO. He kind of specializes in parts for our trucks and is just outside of Springfield, MO. His phone number is 417-452-3673.

Have they tried Obsolete Ford Parts here in Oklahoma City?

 

Yes we have.

 

I have one that's in exceptionally good shape all in primer, but I'd have to have $400 for it. Original Ford factory grill I took off mine because I've swapped my '53 cab for a '56. I'm located in KS close to KC.

 

Guess a question to be asked is deluxe or standard. The deluxe grills with teeth are getting pretty expensive.teeth by themselves are couple hundred

 

No it's not a "deluxe" as you call it...the teeth were an option in 1953 that was probably a custom cab thing, I'm guessing.
