It was a fancy one in it's day. Too bad the yahoos threw a chain around it.

I agree, those are as rare as hens teeth. The one I got was bent about that much. Took a lot of work to make it nice.

I saw a grill guard in the junkyard yesterday.

Anyone have a set of braces they would like to sell me? I don't think the 53-56 ones will work without a lot of bending and cutting.

If they are both the same I don't believe they are for 57-60. There is an extra vertical ball on yours that would interfere with the headlights. In '61 when ford went back to the single headlamp, they moved it over toward the center of the truck and thus this brush guard you have will fit most likely 61-66!

welcome to FTE by the way.
