Hey, pilfered this massive thing out of an abandoned dump a few years ago and am just now getting to the point where I've got something to use it on. It's MASSIVE, and I plan on cutting it down to roughly the dimensions of a '33/'34 Ford grill shell (which, I will also need measurements for if at all possible). Thanks!
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ng-picture-thread.330573/reply?quote=10733586 Appears to me to be the same. No one has identified it yet.
Aw gosh! A guy I used to kick it with's Dad told me exactly what it was... Like a 30's semi or something (Peterbuilt springs to mind but I doubt that's it- Seems like it started with a "P" though-)
Scott's52 posted a pic of the grill mounted on the actual truck if you haven't seen it- I've been out of the loop for awhile, but, don't we have some HAMB google nerds that could find this stuff in like a heartbeat??!? (nerd is an ACRONYM for "Never-Ending-Radical-Dude", in case you didn't know)
I posted my pic on the weekend on Sitting and Rotting and its not the same item, the mesh grilles do seem to be original. Seems to be a tough one. JW
Damn Restorers, ! Actually that was my first thought too, probably some guy somewhere that would love to get his hands on that shell for his truck.
Thanks for all the replies! So it's a '37 Federal huh? I guess while I'm tooting my horn I could post a pic of a few other grills I snagged... The '30/'31 pontiac(?) or was it oldsmobile? took the most work (it's the oldest grill I've found down there)... As found torn apart Poorly painted and pinstriped (after some, straightening, cutting & welding.... Also have 2 Nash grills (I was planning on turning sideways), And what may be an old boiler door, but it weighs a ton and is a little small (neat shape though)-
