With tossing around ideas on which direction to take my recent acquisition of an L-110 which has a grill that would need countless hours of metal work to make presentable, I look to you guys for guidance or maybe even a reality check. First off, my overall plan was never for a stock restoration. My son and I want to leave it with the current patina/rust look it has, but repair any rot it has on the body. Once we make it a solid driver and it enjoy it for awhile we will eventually make some drivetrain upgrades. With that being said, plus the elusiveness of L-series grill, has anyone one swapped a 55' R-series grill onto an L-series truck without changing hoods?

Its on an L-160 and the place is called Strump's outside Spalding, NE. I don't have a number but if you are still interested in putting the L grill on it, it a very good one.
