I have recently acquired a project grill. I was walking my dog last week and came upon a very sturdy sidebox smoker that had been discarded. It's pretty rusty, dirty, and needs some minor repair but it's otherwise solid. I'm thinking I might need new grates and was wondering if anyone knew of a source for such things. I'd prefer cast iron but realize that this might not be possible. Suggestions are appreciated.

Your user name indicates that something might work weber grills and others would be easy to access, you could adjust the opening with some flat stock?
Weber has cast iron grates. Go to a Weber store with your measurements and see if anything is close that would not require major fabrication to fit.
Googling I found this site that seems to make them https://www.cast-iron-grate.com/

I've got a little Smokey Joe, for which the www.cast-iron-grate.com link may be useful, but this project grill is a sizeable horizontal drum smoker/grill. The grates are ~16" x 32" and the ones there now are a little small. I could always use expanded metal, but getting access to a welder for reinforcement would be problematic.
Don't know if this is what your looking for but you can try these guys.

Maybe some expanded metal. Stuff used for floors on fire escapes. See your local iron monger.
Contact you local metal fabricator
Go to Lowes or Home Depot they carry factory replacements.

This is a grill that someone obviously made out of steel. It's a sort of non-standard size (16" x 32" Grates by my measurements).
I'm thinking the metal fabricator route is the best option. I'll make some phone calls.
