I have a 78 Ford F-150 w/351m. I just rebuilt the engine and i love the style of my ford so i want to keep it but my bed it rusting out and my front grille looks like i hit a horse and my driver door and front driver fender are beyond repair! So my question is what are the years of ford trucks I can use to replace these parts. Bed, driver door, both front fenders, grille, front bumper.
I live inLawton Oklahoma so if anyone knows someone or of a good junkyard near by please share the wealth.

 

you can use the bed and fenders off a 73-79. the grill may be year specific depending on how it was ordered and when it was ordered but if you like the older grill i have a grill assembly sitting and collecting dust for a 76 ford. has all the chrome and everything. only thing i can think of that you would have to get are the headlight buckets. everything else is there and in awsome shape

 

Hey as long as the 76 grille assembley will fit on my 78 I dont mind what it looks like, i have the square headlights but i can go to round if i have to. Just let me know what you want to do, i live in lawton Ok and i dont mind traveling a reasonably distance for my 78 baby!

 

i sold a feller in chikasha some trucks about a year ago, i will see if i have his email addy and send it to you. he had several besides the 3 i sold him i beleive.

this grille assembly will work on yours and as you know all you will have to do is change the headlight buckets.i actually went and looked at it earlier today and there are a couple minor dents in the chrome but i believe they can be easily fixed. i just live in oklahoma city so its not very far from you if this is something you would be interested in. as far as price goes i honestly dont know what to ask you for it but for the condition its in and its not aftermarket id say its probably worth 100 bucks but you would just have to come and look at it yourself and tell me what its worth to you and we can go from there.

 

sounds great to me. Is there any way you can take a pic of it so i can get a better idea. Is it the grille and grille shell? I'll ask the boss (wife) , and then I'll get back with you for directions and stuff, or someway that we can talk about it. Thanks for your help!

 

heres a few pics of the grill for you to look at




here is a pic of both dents in the chrome piece (one on each side.)

 

what about the part that the lights screw on to, I have the square headlights but I'd go to round (doesnt matter to me), I just need to find that part now.

 

you will need the round buckets. i dont have them but they can be picked up fairly cheap at a salvage yard though
