  1. after getting my feet out of my mouth I read what I was arguing and see what I meant and what I wrote did not make since.I apologize to SAltbrush and the rest who were right.Ben wrote what I intended but it came out a$$ backward.

  2. to add to the confusion I have 4 pair 1 nos in boxes 3 used 1 pair I am sure were from a Canadian grille assy I have.the illustration book 49-59 list #s 8224rh 8225 lh page 767 then in the illustration portion page 264 they list them as 13206 rh and 13207 lh go figure.the nos boxes the pair I have on the car have fda-13207-a lh and the other faf-13206-b rh they both went on with no problem they were probably US as I bought most parts years ago south of the border Hersey,Carlisle NY,Ohio.I have a feeling the prefixes indicate different sources just a guess.as to your dirty ones if the place they were stored got damp at times it would I think explain the dirty look as the dust would take on a muddy look.the one thing I do not understand is the wires should have the rubber shielding  on both the one looks like it was removed and not neatly.as to the one with the posts without seeing one I am going to suggest it may be a Meteor part as the grille as you know was different PS I am still looking for the meteor hubcap or at least a good picture cheers Barry PS I meant the v bar not the side pieces

  3. I have to agree with the chrysler comments looking at the little holes in rim they were used on that period of walters cars. the hub had a small stub that would help hold the wheel while trying to start the studs not exactly a bright idea trying to get wheel on at side of road besides having left and right studs to add to aggravation of changing

  4. the way the jaws are lined up(not) I would think that it came from the orient.low quality junk I am sure no company would put their logo on it probably a chevrolet fan

  5. I would also look at a site named 52 -59 ford  social groupit is found on the HAMB under social groups it is a mix of original and resto mods lots of good help and info.and yes the y blocks up to 62 will bolt up to your transmission.if you decide to upgrade be sure to get complete motor meaning carb distributor etc as 54 bring one year only the carb water pump and timing chain cover and distributor are unique to that enrgine.you can keep your 6 volt parts as well and use them.this is mine with grand kids a couple of years ago
