    I have a friend who is looking for 57 for P.U. Single head light. I have found plenty 58-60 PU, 2 headlights. For you guys who know these trucks, will 57 grille fit on 58-60? or are fenders/hood different? Anybody?

    I'm pretty sure it'll fit a '58 but the '59 has a different hood. It will not fit a '60 unless you change the entire front clip. My first set of wheels was a '57 big back window pickup with V8.

    58 and 59 have different fenders and valance panel to accommodate round parking lights.

    59 and 60 have rectangular parking lights and fenders that have openings to support them.

    59 and 60 have unique hoods. I think 57 and 58 may share the same hood but I can’t remember for sure.

    I have seen mismatched hoods and grills. Looks strange, though.

    I found a 57 grill and hood off of a wrecked pick up and just installed them. I think it improves the look of the truck.

    I have a 57 pickup and like the looks with the single headlights. It needs a left front fender, but other than that is in good condition. Would like to find a 57 panel truck. If someone is parting out a left front fender please PM me. Thanks.

    Sorry about the hijack, but I need to see more of this truck.
