That grill tho'

 

Any fan of the Art Deco Era Chevrolet truck is a fan of the 'waterfall' grill. 

As seen in previous posts the grill on this truck is pretty hammered and it has booger welds all across the bottom. 

No reproductions seem to be out there and used off eBay and forums can be $600 and up. Resorted are $2,000 to $3,500 plus shipping. The restoration work done by a guy in Washington state commands this price, his work is beautiful and he's been doing that sort of things for 40 years.  

Lucky we have the internet machines now and I spotted this set for sale a mere 9 hour drive away. 

As luck would have it I have an auto racing brethren who graciously agreed to pop over and look at this for me since he lives near the posting. 

A deal was struck after measurements were confirmed on the grill - the fenders are for a 1 1/2 Ton and too big for the 3/4t that we have - they will be sold.

There are other parts here that may be better than ours. Remains to be seen. 

Between the two grills I think we can make one decent one that could be painted or maybe chromes but that is getting expensive and rarer to get the quality from the old days.  

Stay tuned for the results of the road trip.
