53 grill

Well, I drove about 300 miles today trying to get a grill for my '53 and didn't have any luck. The yard I went to had a '53 with a grill on it, it just happened to be a '56 grill :-X23. Anyone have a suggestion on where I might find a grill for a '53? I also need the metal deflector below it. I have a '54 grill in great shape that I would be willing to trade if anyone has a '53 and needs a '54.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the 53 grill. I am interested in your 54 grill though. Mine is in worse shape than I thought and I don't know if it's worth fixing. Let me know if your interested in selling it outright.

Thanks

Bob's F-100 has plenty however, you are going to pay for what you get.

There is also a company that makes fiberglass griles which i can't recall at the moment.
hope this helps

53 grill

Too bad. I needed a 54 grill for my 54 (4 years ago), couldn't find one so traded a used gas tank for a 53 grill and installed it. So my 54 has a 53 grill and a 52 tailgate.
