Does anyone know where I can find a black metal grille cover like this one?

Thanks,
Christy

That is from a CUCV military truck.

Wow - thank you, Captkaos! Do you know where I could buy one? It would look great on my '78 short bed.

I think that's the canvas part only, not the brushguard.  There are a lot of similar brushguards available if you're not worried about it looking exactly like that one.

Thank you all! These are great options. Haven't purchased one yet, but now I know what key words to search under.
I also realized that the one I like must have a screen in the middle section, behind the CUCV brush guard.

     Good luck in your hunt, and if you do get one post up a pic after the install.
