New grill for the 50

[NiftyFifty]

Decided I would fill the  big mouth opening with a custom grill, and had a buddy C&C me a new DODGE emblem for it...too many questions of what the truck is, so I put a name back on it.

Like your paint colors.

Someone put a '51 or later front clip on your truck?

51 grill and hood, all the rest is 50

Clean and simple, I like it!  What did you use for tubing?

The Dodge emblem is a nice touch.

3/4” OD tubing that’s way heavier thickness then I wanted, as I welded all 6 together to start, and heated and bent together to keep them uniform.  Took a lot of heat and a lot of patience from my wife, then bent the centre V piece from 3/32” plate....again...not really much fun, but I’m happy with the results

Looks good. I saw this one on FB the other day (attached pic) and it looks like he had similar design thoughts as you...

Never seen that one before, nice colour scheme and I like the chrome visor.  I never did like the front bumpers, hence mine shaved and now hidden behind the front sheet metal.

Looks great Shane! Hate to say it but even with the name on it, i still have people calling our flatbed an "international" (and we have the three name badges on the front....)

hopefuly folks in your area are smarter, LOL

Oh no...that’s the #1 thing people call mine too...but for the last few years I just told them it was a secret...even though I typically have a sign in front of it saying exactly what it is..LOL
