front grille parts 49-52


will a U.S. version 50's grille parts fit on my 52? I know the hood lip is not the same but will the rest fit?

Chris, think you'll have to take measurements to find this out!! They look the same BUT!!! So many Cdn. parts look like they'll cross over but don't!! I've run into this on my 64 Catalina & on the 52 Torpedo Back. I'm using alot of 49 to 52 Chevy pcs as the US 52 has diff. bumpers etc. It's possible the body on US car could be wider,same as Olds Buick & Caddy???? I know the frt. fenders are are a lot longer on those cars. Thats all I can offer now.

Thanks guys, I was just checking, I found a rusted out American 51 Pontiac at a wrecker close by, almost all the trim is in great shape, most of the grille is bad but I was just looking at a couple grille teeth and the pass side corner trim that goes from the grille to the bumper. I might go ant take off the center windshield bar as just need a bolt from it I have a bolt piece that broke on mine. If anyone knows of a person with a u.s. car, this one is decent for interior and exterior trim only, all door and body panels interior and exterior are pretty shot.
