Most of us just got a billet grille insert and then put the International diamond in the middle since the grille doesn't have anything there. I have the International emblems if you need one.

Here is the one several of us have bought. Great quality and a good price. You do have to cut your grille, though it isn't hard.

Amazon.com: New! Ford F250/F350 SuperDuty Billet Grille/Grill, Polished, 99-04: Automotive


Here is it installed with the emblem.

He comes my buzz-kill....

I'm a FORD nut, not an International fan. I would NEVER replace my Blue Oval!! I'd add an Orange Diamond somewhere that made sense, but not there.

Let the beatings begin!!

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking looking at that picture. Heck I think I took it and looked at it a few times and thats the first time I have noticed it.

When you're on the dyno, they strap/chain your truck down REALLY tight. Probably just the way it's strapped down.

Or the ball joints in his TTB have given up the ghost.

It is not the ball joints. It is the TTB design. Aint that such a great idea. Yeah right.
I think what makes it the worse is the spring bushings are really worn out bad.

Got a D60 ready to put in to fix that problem. Still looking for some "V" codes to throw on there at the same time. She will get her stance back real soon.

Thanks for noticing that. LOL

Actually I lowered the front end down some just to compensate for the raw power out the back end that way when she tries to climb off that dyno she sits nice and level while doing it.

Also helps to keep from pulling the front wheels off the ground at red lights. LOL
