911 on my front end

See what happened this a.m. and no collision. blahh. Anyways, I wanted to make a custom bumper - which I am now inclined to do, but anyone have ideas for the grill and lights and the metal below the grill and lit area?

Did the wife get mad or something?

That lower valance pannel would have to be replaced.

Personally, I love the stock grille on our trucks. So if it was up to me, I'd replace it.

I just saw a grill and front bumper on the St. Louis Craigslist. Don't remember the price but he may have every thin else you need also. In the pic on his listing I could see all kinds of parts in the background.

powerstroke grills

I am sure it could be shipped to you.

I was looking at buying this to fix the lights and grille. Still need to figure out how to get the sheet metal that is below the grill above the bumper across the front fixed. It has a nice crease in it. See the link below. Any opinions?

Kris - are you dreaming or just crazy??? haha!!!

I love this truck - just screwed up this morning.

But let me know about the headlights, I will buy them from you. I also need the bezel, and header.

So I just got the rsk from sky today too. So I guess it was a good time for this to happen.
