buds truck Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Just got this grille via ups today, put it in the grille opening of my truck to see what it would look like. With a little work I think I found a winner. What do you guys think?? Bud :D Quote
woodscavenger Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 SWEEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!! Mater has teeth! ( My boy calls my truck Mater from the movie cars.) If mine had that grill opening I would do the same. What is that out of? Quote
carl b51 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Bud thats a winner!! Is it Buick ? Carl Quote
buds truck Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 that is a grille out of a 1952 Buick. I actually got a great deal on EBAY. It is the same kind I adapted into my 49 Plymouth. In fact, this truck will have a 49 plymouth dash assembly, the same heater, grille and gawd knows what else as my 49 Plymouth does Bud :D Quote

Young Ed Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Looks good. Can you find or make parking lights to fill in the corners? Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 It looks ....well... Super (pun intended). Are you going with 3 or 4 port holes? Fireball under the hood? Quote

I will find 2 more "teeth" to replace the short ones to fill out the corners and I am looking for a set of 49 Plymouth park lamp/turnsignal lamp assemblies for the front. Bud :D Quote
