i saw the post before about grill swapping, but i am confused about the will it fit part, i had a 69 polished grill could i mount it where my painted grill is now or are there a lot of mods required?

 

i dont think there would be any mods at all for the same year. and maybe just a couple of holes for different models. my truck even has a mid 70's radiator support with a 69 grill in it. It only needed 2 holes drilled to make it work.

 

"Grill"--something you put charcoal in and Bar-B-Que on.

"Grille"--the front part of a vehicle that covers that radiator and usually houses the headlights.

thank you for that wonderful school lesson

 

Actually, grill and grille are variations of the same word.

Neither directly refer to any part of an automobile. I assume it stems from the parallel metal bars seen in a grill or grille.

I know, I know..Shutup Smarta$$...Just killing time.

 

I am sure there have been grilles used for grills, especially in the old-ford-truck-owner-crowd! Hard to imagine it happen the other way around though.

Barbecue?
