Speaker Mounting

Hey all. I've got a question about mounting a standard speaker in the dash. When I got my truck the speaker was held in place with screws through the grill slots in the dash. I didn't figure that was correct, but have just recently bought a really nice speaker on ebay, and it came with its own black grill and screws. Am I supposed to use this grill on a '65 F-100, or was it for a different application?

Any help would be (as always) appreciated!

Speaker was held in by small chrome carrage bolts and nut.

I found mine was held in with the small screws to the dash and the speaker grill was attached to the speaker?
got one of the dual cone 200 watt speakers that LMC had, great sound! but wouldn't quite work so I took the original speaker cut the guts out of it so I had just the upper frame, then the new speaker mounted to it and I was able to go with the original attachment to the dash and speaker grill, sounds a little funky but it really wasn't hard to do and it works perfectly!
