burrito213 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Cool..that will work for me..... thanks for the heads up. Link to comment
wayno Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Cool..that will work for me..... thanks for the heads up. I am not sure you will be able to go back burrito, you might have to trim the hole to give the square turn indicator bucket the space it needs, once it is square, i am not sure you can go back. The 1965 grill uses the round holes same as the 63 grill. But the 64 grill looks better than the 63 IMO. Link to comment

The 1965 grill uses the round holes same as the 63 grill. But the 64 grill looks better than the 63 IMO. Dude, overspray on the radiator and rotors? For shame~ for SHAME! :blink: There's an early truck at Kelseyville (CA) Auto Dismantlers~ I'll be going by there in the next few days for parts (see my post tomorrow in the general forum) and I can check if you like.... Peace~ Scott Link to comment
burrito213 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hmm, that's a good point wayno. Scott, thank you for the offer. Let's put it like this, if anyone has a 63' or 65' grille I will use it on the truck. If its a 64' grille, I will still use it but take it to my work and use it to help make some badges I have been thinking about. Either way, I am game for both but 63 and 65 would be preferable. Thanks for the help so far everyone. Link to comment

Peace~ Scott Mike painted the calipers red before I bought the pickup, but the radiator, well the grill hides it, and if it had not, I would have sprayed it flat black after the painter finished, maybe the next time the grill is off, I will rattle can it flat black, I didn't do the painting, and I got a good enough deal to not complain about much.

Thanks for the help so far everyone. I am not absolutely sure it won't work, but I think that the round hole needs to be trimed square/rectangular with two holes on the ends, I am pretty sure that the round lense buckets will not cover the mods if you went back to round unless you used a 65 grill, that would cover it. But it could be fiberglassed up and recut if you really had to go back to the 63 grill. I like the 64 grill a lot better than the 63, and you can buy new lenses from clauss for the 64 grill on ebay.

(if i could afford it) ;) Link to comment
burrito213 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 wayno, (if you are reading this) does that one guy parting his L320 still have parts or that grille we were messaging on? Link to comment
wayno Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I do not know if it is still there, that grill was not in that good of shape, I'm sure that yours is better, as for some of the other parts, the good ones went on to ebay. "Datguy" is his ratsun user name, you could ask him what's left. I have a really strait 64 grill that I don't need, the problem with it is major rust, it's sad that such a strait grill is so rusted, I don't know if it is savable, only a plater could tell you. Here are photos of the grill. Link to comment
wayno Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Here are photos of the inside of the grill, and I forgot to mention that the lower mount tabs had to be cut off, as I was unable to get the bolts/screws loose, so a couple pieces of metal would need to be welded on and drilled, if I were you I would keep looking for a better grill. How soon are you going to need this grill you are looking for, is it going to be next year? Link to comment
burrito213 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Heck wayno, that's a nice camera...... You know, I a not in a big hurry. Just trying to get a respectable deal. Link to comment
burrito213 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 My main reasone is to takethat grille to work for various ideas n' stuff and use it as a spare for that just in case option Link to comment
wayno Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Heck wayno, that's a nice camera...... You know, I a not in a big hurry. Just trying to get a respectable deal. I am amazed with my camera myself, I took this photo of my 63 datsun 320 engine, what really amazed me was this engine was running when I took this photo. Can your grill be plated/re-chromed? All I have extra right now is the rusty 64 grill. I realize you know I have what you want, but since that thread that some ratsuners were discribing as "vile" and such, my plans changed for that vehicle now, so nothing will be sold off that vehicle in case I sell it, as it is complete.

burrito213 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 No worries wayno, That grille in your pics, as bad as it looks, looks almost similar to mine. Ollz But I don't want to buy from someone who has one for something or someone who has it on hold for a reason. I'm looking to see if someone just has a spare one they dont mind selling.

The grill is really strait, but it is as rusty as it is strait. :( There really isn't much chrome left. :( Keep bumping this thread, eventually you will get a responce. Have you tried Tana?
