Since that NOS grill showed up on ebay, I've been taking a look at the grills on my trucks and have just some general questions about them. The emblem on my 53 is huge compared to the one on the 54. I also noticed that the center bar in the 53 is bolted and the emblem area is bigger than the 54, which is welded and smaller indentation. Does anyone know why they changed? And also, where to start looking for the larger emblem on the 53. The one I have, I got came from a guy on the old oldihc site a few years ago that I think lived in Arizona and sold it to me for the cost of shipping. Its nice to have an emblem, but its kind of rough and majorly pitted.
