there it is.... will some 1 save the pic, cut it back up, and try and rechop it back together with old grill in upper half and tube grill from fender to fender down.

i not sure how to size stuff but the whole thing needs to be bigger and the proportions set, you can use a headlight as a reference of size and(size the grill to right size and put up against under side of hood) place grille right at top ..then tube grille from fender 2 fender, down to center rock shield/valance..top of bumper..?

What year truck is the old one up there?? early 60's?? I got the headlights from a 68 but i know it's earlier than that. I was thinkin '64 but it had 2 instead of 4 headlights ...??

i'm really not sure..its like a 60-61 i believe... possibly a 62, 63 or 64, i've been searching and i've seen all years w/ 1 headlight and 2 headlights, most of the 2 headlights look like expanded metal between headlights tho, like the 65 center..

i found 1 other truck that has that exact same oval grille with the word chevrolet spelled out like that(its the 1 i used to get that grille, to chop with,.. got it off ebay, i googled and really havent been able to id that truck to a yr model, maybe even a 59?, but b/c so hard to find thats why i said rechop that pic and put it back together)

u've almost got it...i want to leave all of the old grill viewable and tube under it, not between the lights

AHH I'll see what i can't find or maybe if you have the picture of the truck you stole the grill from would help. I'm having trouble finding a 2-headlight grille like that one.
