1949-1950 Ford Grille

[37fatfender]

I am presently working on a 1950 Ford woodie, its pretty much a basket case at this point. I like the look of 1949 grille better than the 1950, other than the parking lights are there any differences? Could I simply put 49 lights on the ends of the 50 grille bar that i have? I realize relocating mount holes in the fenders will have to be addressed.

Naw, change out the Ford grille for a 1950 Nash grille, then you've got a looker!

As Mercman is showing the entire grill except "beak" at the top are different between 49 and 50. Also, the 49 front fenders are different that 50 front fenders behind the parking lights.
