And I like that grill, did you make that yourself? If not, where did you get it?
If I'm not mistaken, it's built by using the surround out of the OEM grille, and cutting the new bar style one to fit.

That's what I like about it.

The only reason I never liked the billet grille is how the edge just doesn't look finished. The grille that he has looks much better.

Doesn't look like it needs much fixing up.

I just checked on their site when I read your post. But when I used the search the only ones I saw for our trucks just look like a standard billet grille.

Carriage works offers two grilles. One without the shell and one that you cut your stock grille to fit it in:


This is directly of carriage works site:
<table width="625" class="cwlist" bgcolor="#999999" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tbody><tr><td width="60" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">1992-96 </td><td width="450" align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"> F-Series Pick Up & Bronco (Remove stock shell, no cutting) </td><td align="right" nowrap="" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"> </td><td width="50" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">40021 </td><td width="50" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">40022 </td><td width="50" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">40023 </td><td width="65" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">C </td><td width="40" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">2 </td><td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"></td></tr><tr><td width="60" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">1992-96 </td><td width="450" align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"> F-Series Pick Up & Bronco (Cutting of stock shell required) </td><td align="right" nowrap="" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"> </td><td width="50" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">40241 </td><td width="50" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">40242 </td><td width="50" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">40243 </td><td width="65" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">A </td><td width="40" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">3

I did see that, but I was under the impression that they would have a billet grille that already had the factory surround trim already attached in one piece.

I just wanted to see if they had something that didn't require cutting up my original grille.....but I guess there is no way around it.
