Not sure I have ever seen a billet grille. Just the greasy tube grills from the late 70s

Roll pans are us....

Guys.
When BroncoTom was looking for a rear roll pan, we discovered that the top of a styleside bed has the exact same countours as the bottom of the fenders in the rear. So he cut an old bed top, fitted it to the rear of the truck and the results looked like it was made specifically for his truck.
(He did buy an aftermarket cutout for the recessed license plate but that doesn't count).
I'm wondering, after looking at the bed side, if the same thing might not hold true for the front fenders.
Check it out.

It's close, but the grille and all have an arc. I've been working on one on and off for a couple years. Real pain in the butt, lots of shrinking trying to get the arc right.
I shoulda bought one, and might still, if I run across one at the right time.
But today ain't that time...lol
