1964 Grill Price

I ran across a good straight painted grill for my 1964 Ford truck in a wrecking yard. The asking price is $100. Is this a fair price? Do they make new grills out there for my truck?

is it steel or alum. as far as I know the only new grill available is 66 style. might be worth grabbing. They're only gonna get harder to find

The grill I am looking at is the steel painted one not the alum. grill. Did the 1964 grill match any other years?

No. Grab it. $100 is a fair price.

Take a magnet with you. If it's steel, you can easily have it chromed. If it's aluminum, it is anodized and will take many hours of labor to prep for chroming or polishing. Either can be repainted easy enough.
Each year had it's own grill. 64 and 65 had somewhat similar appearance except for the park lamps being in thegrill in 64 and in the header panel in 65.
