61 lark grill panel on a T-cab

[54-61-62]

I seem to remember somebody once on this forum had a T-cab truck with a 61 lark front grill panel on it. Does somebody still have those pictures? I'd be interested what was done to make it fit.

I guess that it is possible, but at first glance I think that it would be difficult.
It seems like a '61 front panel would fit the fenders just fine, but the hoods are different from '60 to '61. The hoods also mate up to different cowls ('60 vs. '61).

Sasco still has front panels for the T cabs!

I had a '64 Champ 1/2-ton that had a '63 Lark front panel on it when I bought it. So, I don't know which hood it had, but everything fit fine. Only conflict was the quad headlight setup obstructed the air intake system used on Champs (like '59 and '60 Larks).
