Hi all, I'm looking for a NOS or a very good Grill for my 1978 Road Commander. Road Boss grilles are also the same, any leads would be appreciated.

Hi Ray,

Saw your post re: White grille and by chance I was in Campellfield last Sunday doing what else? Looking for old trucks! Hadn't been out there for about 10 years and gee it's (sadly) changed - no more Truck City. Back then there were a few more dealers selling some good looking machinery.

Getting to the point, and without leading anyone on a wild goose chase, I saw a complete R Commander Cab in the front yard of a "wrecker"; and I'm quite sure the grille was there and complete. Cab is black with the "arrows" in silver. Don't know if its for sale or not.

Unfortunately, I didn't have camera with me nor did I note down name of company.

The yard's located in the vicinity of Rex Road and Northbourne Road. There's an old crane in the front too.

I hope this helps you, or perhaps other members might know of the place I'm talking about...?

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob, I rang the truck wrecker in Campbellfield F.M. Darmanin and asked about the White Road Commander Cab and grill. Yes it's for sale but it has a damaged grill, doors rusty all for the sum of $3000.00. :o I'll keep hunting around I think.

Hi Ray,

Good to hear that you found the place and the cab in question. Bugger that the grille didn't work out.

I think they'll be waiting a while for their 3 grand though. Keep an eye on it as it might end up being parted out.

Let you know if I see anything else in my travels.

Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob, I've had a phone call from another White truck nut in San Diego, USA this afternoon saying that he has found 1 half of a NOS grill so I've told him I'll take that. But I'm still looking for another side or a complete grill.

Hi mate, I don't know if you have seen this but...

This guy has a complete cab and bonnet with grille in it. He tells me he wants near nothing for it. I'd say $100 for the lot
cheers

Ray, please check your private messages...

Back to your grille dilemma; my truck is a working truck and not a show truck.
If you need that missing grille section or complete grille, and can't find one - then you can have mine (not for free but very very cheap!!.) I'll use something else (Western Star maybe) for my old chook if needed.
cheers and regards, ;)
