Buen Dia Andre' ! .

I am surpsrised no one responded to this so I'll give it a shot -but-
Soy solo un mechanico del Finca , sabes ? .

So , IIRC , the hood on '54 is different and will leave a gap at the top of a /47 ~ '53 grille plus , the fenders will both have some holes for parking lights not covered by the earlier grille .

I know this was covered in excruciating detail on The Stovebolt Page a few years ago when I was a regular poster there...

My big question is why try?..I believe the grill on the 54 is what sits in apart from the others..Call me stupid, but if you use a 53 grill in a 54..you might as well get a 53 truck..

AD's and old rucks in general are not scattered across Brazil like they are in the U.S.A. ! . he may need to do this to ge the look he likes .


Good thing is : the venerable 261 engine is a dime a dozen down there as they made it up to...1976 ? IIRC .
