I have a 1965 shortbed stepside that I just bought last week and it needs some work. One of the things I must to is remove the grille unit, but I have no idea what bolts to reach for or how to get to them. Can you guys help me with this? Thanks. ;D

They run about $30 or so. VERY worth it.

They're accessable from the wheel well, above the bumper brackets. Here is a picture to illustrate.

Just saying what you did painted a good picture. Thank you.

Somehow it got deleted from my server. Anywho... It's there now.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Hello! Here is some information on my blog that might help you with your grille removal and installation. I explain in pretty good detail (with pics ) of all that was involved during my own removal and installation. To see the pics in better detail just click them.

I hope there was helpful info on there. I definately wasnt prepared to do all that other stuff when I bought a new grille. But it has to be mounted onto your headlight buckets in order to put it on.
