Thought about taking it to a chrome shop? Those guys can straighten just about any trim piece.

Hey Harley Dude--really like your truck. I guess I haven't seen all that many 38's in such good condition. Maybe I've never seen one. I guess I don't go to all that many "stocker" shows, and I've always thought this particular year wasn't too good looking, but yours is great. Good luck finding that grill piece, I know a guy here in Napa county that has a 38 project truck that has been languishing for decades(its pretty much a big pile of parts), and I'm thinking he might have something. If he's interested I'll get back to ya.

39 grill
thanks for the look. the 38 and 39 were the ugly trucks but they grow on you. guy had this in his garage for 18 years. had been a poor restro years ago. looks better than it is. now down to the bare frame will be stock except for the engine . 8ba, isky max 1, offy heads and manifold, reds headers. the grill is not bad. just a few bumps. nobody makes a repro yet. take care.
