Kinda looks like it. Would have been made out of 3 grills as '51 and '52 only had 3 protrusions, this things got 7.

Possibly made up from multiple 52 F1 grille teeth and spliced central bars? Hard to judge the scale..

The "Dagmars" on Mart's REAL Ford truck are too narrow on the bottom to match the units on that bigly truck. DD

I seem to remember that certain 50s Cadillac grills or maybe front bumper guards were called Dagmars.

How about you are on a 2 lane at 1 AM and this truck comes up behind you with all
its lights on and gets so close you can see those 7 'teeth.
vs
Dagmar comes up that close at 1 AM and I'm not talkin' teeth.

That is just too cool! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if I can find 'The Sorcerer' on a movie service.
