There is a guy who advertises in Hemmings motor news (Glenn Marrion). He sells re-chromed grilles, but they might be a little bit pricey. Here is the link: http://www.glennmarionparts.com
Hope this helps.

Cabby Daddy,

What is the chance of retrieving the grill. I need one too.

Garden Tiller,

What do you have? Where are you located?

Thanks Did you price the 57 Grill with them. I have seen them for about $400. It is a little steep for me.

Yes about 2 or 3 years ago the grill bar was 475 with exchange and 40 each headlight door.I think it is rather hi to. I found a good take off for about 250 it had a dent in it.I am sure if one would look around they could be found.The bigest problem is that they were only made one year and I don't think ford sold many of these trucks also they are so hard to get off.400 sounds hi to,Good luck on your serch if I come accrost one I will let you know.

57Ford,

I have a chrome grill that is fair but the headlight doors are shot. They will sell just the doors? That would be great. It might not be perfect but it would work. I'll e-mail them.

Despratley In search of 57 Grille

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Aug-02 AT 09:13 PM (EST)]I live in Pensacola FL and I have never saw a 57 - 60 Ford truck any series on the road. I know where every junk yard is and I have only found one F600 59?. Not sure what year it is.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gallery/sizeimage.php?&photoid=7765&.jpg

Someone. Please make a fool out of me and tell me where all these trucks are hiding in the south east. I wish I could find some.

I have bought the motor and don't even know what it is. I'm hoping it is at least a 292.
