F350 Grill
Looking to upgrade my grill. Thought I saw a 2011 F350 style grill that would fit a 1999. Any one seen these. Will consider others. Just not sure where to start. Did not see one on Riffraff or Strictly Diesel.

I think there are 05-07 style grills available that are modified so you don't need to swap the bumper out as well. I can't imagine anything 08 and newer working since they attatch to the hood.

Also been looking at different grills online this morning. Most say inserts, do they just cover the existing grill? If you look at my picture, is that a '99 grill? Heve not seen the velance like that on an Excursion, so when looking for lights I don't know what year would fit it. The front just looks unfinished.

My former business partner had one of these that looked pretty good on his green 2000
2000 FORD F250SD AFTERMARKET CHROME TUBE GRILLE COVER - eBay (item 270363058020 end time Apr-12-11 09:14:25 PDT)
His truck had a chrome bumper as well. I looked at a few Excursions on Autotrader and didn't see any valance like yours. I'm thinking yours may be aftermarket.

I am considering the chrome insert which attach right over the existing grill. Gives it more of a flat look while increasing chrome content (the look I am going for).
Ford Superduty Chrome Style Flame Grill Grille Insert - eBay (item 130486914676 end time Feb-21-11 18:00:33 PST)
This is ONE style that this seller has - (my personal favorite as a firefighter). He has a lot of others. Not sure if this is something you feel would comeplement your rig or not.

I would leave the front valance.....but change the grill to the 2004 harley davidson edition grille 2004 Ford Harley-Davidson F-350 - Front Angle - 1280x960 Wallpaper
There would be no modification needed to swap the grille. Even if you used the 2005-2007 grille, you need to change the support behind it. (to do it properly). Here is the front valance you have. 1999-04 Ford F-250F-350 Xenon Front Air Dam/ Bumper Cover
Also change those paddle mirror to the tow style, that will help change the look even more.

Thanks, at least I know what I am working with. Looking at inserts myself. Or maybe a 2007 style fitted for the '99. Looking. Been on ebay too.

No problem, I still think that the 2004 harley grill would look killer (you really need to look at more pics of that grill), and you can add round lights to the valance, and you can add ford factory fog lights to the bumper as well.....

Don't have a Harley, never even rode a motor cycle. Lights are a must. Now that I know that the valance is a Xenon Air Dam, I know what I am trying to fit. Most of the Grills I see are ABS Plastic with a chrome finish. Worry about flaking. But most chrome parts are plastic so it may be fine.
