53 f100 grill

I have not found any parts companies that sell 53 grills. Does anyone know where to find one. Mine has a 55 grill in it now. It has a dent in it. I am thinking about putting in an original 53.

The best bet is to hunt for a used one, I don`t know of anyone reproducing the 53, only the 56 grills.

I may have one, but don't know what shape it is in. PM me if you're interested and I will dig it out and take some pix.

Bob's F-100's in Riverside, CA has a big selection of grilles but he's not giving them away.

I have a perfect 53 grille (painted) but I would have to have a trade for a 55 perfect grille (painted). I would also have to know if the lower grille panel is the same for 53, 54, and 55. The reason is that the 55 grille would have to fit the lower grille panel (from a '53) that I already have.

I don't care if my slantcab looks like a '53, 54, or 55. However, I would advise you to put in an ad in the classifieds wanted section, and also scan the for sale classifieds weekly......

Regards,

Alanco
