Very early ute & panel van grilles had painted steel horizontal blades, but I believe they were discontinued and changed so that all models had stainless steel The lower larger horizontal piece is chromed steel and the vertical pieces are chromed die cast metal Not often do you see the steel ones in good condition Gary Title: Re: fc grille Post by: fink on February 01, 2013, 07:45:08 PM Hey Greg,i should have a few,let me know what your after ,the more you take the drunker i get,lol :D

Then after the painted grilles were discontinued, the bars were changed to stainless because it would have been cheaper to make.
The chrome steel grilles are rarer than the stainless ones, but no more or less value in my opinion. Ken Title: Re: fc grille Post by: MAF on February 07, 2013, 03:13:00 PM That explains why Dad's ute grille has rust behimd the bars.
