    Will the grille from a 1958 Ford pickup bolt right up into a 1960 model? I've been wanting another 57-58 for a long time and all I can seem to find are 1960 models with that ugly-***ed grille and hood. I found a pretty straight 60 custom cab and a friend has a nice chrome 58 grille I can have, also can find a good 57-58 hood. I could live with the square turn signals.

    Yes, the headlight buckets will need to be replaced though

    The 58 grill has the buckets, doors and all the headlights in it already, so it should be a bolt up deal? Just wondering before I pull the trigger on a 60. thanks
     
  4. Yep bolt in if you use the enmtire unit. There may be a hole or two that need to be relocated but it will just a matter of getting the ol' drill out of the box.

    If you want to do it all old school I got a drill that I can loan you from the era. ;)

    the57/ 58 signal lights are partly in the fender,were the 59/60 are in the grill so you will need some body work

    Yeah, I know the fenders and front valance are different due to the turn signals, might have to improvise a little there.
