Title: 1935 Ford truck
Post by: Coleman396 on April 21, 2004, 09:57:01 PM
Hi Guys. I am new to this site and really like what I have seen here so far. My Truck is a 35 Ford which I have oictures of but do not know how to resize them. When I find out I will post one or two.
Anyway I am wondering if anyone might have an idea where I can find a grill for my truck.
I have a grill in there but the bottom has been cut off it. Thanks in advance for any info. Have a great night!

The 35 and 36 truck grills are the same. They've been real cheap on e-bay lately. I got mine (off ebay) for $550 and $50 to ship it. It litterally was perfect (with a small repair at the bottom left bolt hole metla finished and no filler needed) until I dropped it in the gravel driveway and put a small ding where the molding peice bolts on the front.
A 37 grill is also that same shape, but with horizontal bars, and not as attractive in my opnion. But it will fit just fine.

Hi John,

Welcome to the RRT ...lots of nice folks here with great knowledge.  Go to www.fordbarn.com and take out a free "Parts Wanted" ad under "Early V-8."  Also check the ads already posted there for a grill.  And, I look forward to seeing some post of your ride and progress.  :wink:

Thanks a lot guys. This is great. There are a few minor things I have to do to the truck to be happy with it for the up coming summer. After that it is getting a going over through the winter with all new power,interior, and maybe paint. I kind of doubt I will be able to do the paint this winter but hey, a guy has to have goals! Right?
I have a line on a grill locally but it came from a bigger truck,possibly a two ton? I will have to get on it soon though or I might end up missing out on the other one posted here. Have a great night!

He might have something in his "field of dreams" he would part with or probably knows where one is.

35-36 are NOT the same. 36 is much deeper. I am going to put a 36 on my 35 to give me room for my A/C. I have been watching ebay recently. They are going for $200 to $400  Ford had 1/2 ton and 1 1/2 ton trucks in 35. The grills interchange
