Maybe if you get tired of the grill teeth you could swap it for this!

See, you guys have it all wrong... those aren't "teeth", they're teats! And obviously 48-50 haven't got any!!!

Oh boy, here it goes again. Which is better, '48-50 or '51-52?
Come guys, we're all Bonus Built Brethren, let's be friends. Our trucks are basically the same, both great designs*. Save our criticism for the really ugly trucks, the'53 and up.
*Although the '48-50 are really the best

That sure is a funny lookin 51 grille. As far as which years were better 48-50 51-52 I couldnt figure out which one i liked so I put the 51 front clip on a 50 cab and frame. Best of both worlds.

Bob, I cant stop laughing! (paper bag) good one! 
I like both the 51 and 48 style grills- now if I could just have one of each I would be happy.

Now that I have stopped laughing long enough to type I have an admission:
for my entire life I hated the "dagmars" on the 51-52 but then I bought a 52 (or so) F-6 and needed to convince my wife of the wisdom of my gain. She walks by it now and laughs saying she expects it to so say something goofy..... I'm living in a cartoon and can't get out!!!!!!!!!
