Any body ever put an older grille 59-60 in a 62? I really like the older ones. Just wondering how big of a job to install.

Check out this thread. Should give you a good idea of what’s involved.

If you have 62 front bumpers, then the grill will stick out farther than it would with 58-60 front bumpers. Maybe 3/4" more. You could extend the mounting pad on the 62 bumpers with washers and somehow extend the threaded stud sticking out of the bumper.

After doing some reading on it . I think it’s more work than it’s worth I’ll just stay with what I have.
