Not only on e-bay but the subject of a thread this morning:

1951 1952 Ford Truck Grille NICE:eBay Motors (item 370299590334 end time Dec-07-09 15:54:56 PST)

This is off a Parcel Delivery truck, that's why the lower valance is different. But the grille, which is the same, is the only part for sale I think!

I'd make sure the bread truck grille is F-1 width before bidding, it may be the wider big-truck type.

I have the same one as showed in the eBay auction. Parcel vans were F4-F6. Haven't seen any based on the F7-F8 body and frame.

I've had this one for a while. I pulled it from a 52 P4 (Parcel (F)4). It's straight and dent free.



I also have a grille from this 51 F2-F6 front clip. Don't remember on the condition, but should be decent. I can check for you, however, if there's interest.



If your friend doesn't get the one on eBay. I can sell him either one. I'll also have another grille from an F1 by the end of the month.

BTW, the grilles are all the same width from F1-F6. F7-F8-COE had wider grilles.

51 grill

Hello, iam a frnew friend of fish-albuq. i am looking for the 51 grill. Thanks for the great replies. Iam a new 51 owner and new to the forum. Thanks 51 panelman for the pix. And also the link to e-bay grill. I dont have a paypal or e-bay account so i AM interested in 51 panelmans silver grill from the 52 P4 if it is the same width for my F-1. I dont need the lower valance if that would make it less$ or if you could sell that to someone seperate? Let me no what you want for it.
Thanks 3D chris

Yep, that sounds familiar.

You would go to the main forum page - the one where all the "threads" (seperate discussions) are listed, and up in the upper left hand corner (actually about 6 inches down on the left) is a box that says "New Thread." Click that and it will start one for you.

Then everyone who looks at your new "thread" will reply by leaving a "post" in it.

If you have trouble finding the main forum page click on this link and save it to your favorites on your computer to get back to it. Be sure to remember your user name and password to log on.
