Well it is time to start taking it apart.First taking off the frontclip.Then the motor and trans comes out.Then the frontend comes out and get cleaned and painted.Then start putting the 71 back together.So if anyone need any parts off it that im not useing they are up for sale.Sell the parts cheap.It has good hood,inner fenders,grill ,core support inside hood lock with a key.And other parts just let me know.Thanks Tony

its like the one that goes all the way around the front of the truck, it goes around the headlights, up to the start of the hood where the F-O-R-D letters are, down under the turn signal lenses.

tanman722001 09-20-2006 07:38 PM

Sound like your talking about the grill.Tony

slash31938 09-20-2006 07:40 PM
