Any grill ideas for the stainless bar style?

[NiftyFifty]

Hey gents,

I'm doing a re-paint and a few changes on my truck and I finally broke down and pulled my grill bars off my 50 because their so damaged,but I would like to cover up the holes and the bolts that mount the rad cradle... I've done a bunch of searches but can only find mods to the job rated grills... Anyone have some pics of other ideas used?

Thanks!

Found these when looking for lowered trucks. I think one could do more without the bars than with them. Put the truck in gray scale and get a set of felt pen colors and dream.

I found one with what looks to be a 2002 grill mounted with just the

Bottom steel bar showing.. Looked good.. Might have a peek at some dimensions at the wrecker

I think that this truck looks pretty tough

Here is what I did at first but got a different front end so decided to go back to stock since the bars where in fair shape and didn't require much straightening. There is a lot that can be done with these front ends. Good luck! Mike

Based on the copper colored truck in Post #4, fill the top wide and narrow sections and the bottom narrow section and the hole for the crank. Should give you 2 wide sections seperated by a narrow. Would look good to me.

Tom out of curiousity where'd you get that pic?

Good question. I think I got it off a google picture search

Interesting. Pretty sure I took it at back to the 50s here in minneapolis.

Went pretty plain...I used a piece of expanded metal behind the grill and some chrome carriage botls to hold it in.

Really not happy with my latest Armour Coat/Tremclade paint job...and mostly the tremclade..really doesn't seem as hard as the armour coat paint and both were thinned the same. I like the grill this way...but now the strugle to build a new bumper tomorrow, as well as install the new Cobra Cooper tires on my new to me rims, and to finish the day the new door decals....
