    bolts right in, I like the 54 grille cause you see less of them.
     
  4. You may have to fill some holes where the fangs of the '54 grille meet the lower pan, other than that, any of the '53-'56 truck grilles should be a bolt-in swap.

  5. Having had a '53 grille in my F100 I can honestly say that they are a direct swap

    Saw a nice 55 grill for sale recently at a local swap. Looks new, chrome, $400 with hood emblems. If anyone is interested I can get you in touch with the owner.
     
  7. My panel has a 55 grille, it's just the grille and lower panel and then you choose what turn light housings you want to run (I went with the 55).
