front grill for a 79

Any know where to get a grill for a 1979 f150. I broke mine during a recent snow storm busting through a snow drift that the city had plowed, blocking me from entering my neighborhood. I did get through it but it cracked my grill it was about 4 foot tall. So far I have not recieved anything worth from *** , and have spent about $600 bucks through them, so I dont think that I will order one from them again. Any other places to order from out there?

You can buy from the Online Store here, but I don't see a grille for a 79.

You can try Auto Krafters or the Bronco graveyard. I am sure other people will come up with more. Sorry to hear about your experiences with that other company, it is sad to hear that another enthusiast has had problems.

Watch the banner ads for other companies also.

I have a complete brand new chrome grill, <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/"><a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/"><a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">headlight door</a></a></a>s, etc. I got them from a friend of mine to keep as spares. Try <a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-525300-5900434"><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-525300-5900434"><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-525300-5900434">J.C. Whitney</a></a></a>, I think that's where they came from. The rear grill is the hard one to find though.

There is always a few on E-bay.
Also try your local auto-wreckers.
Dennis is right - there are three.

Try <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com"><a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com"><a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com">Obsolete Ford Parts</a></a></a> out of Oklahoma. I've had good luck with them. Head light surrounds are $19 or so each and the grill is about $30-40 new. The grill surround that is aluminum (I think) is about $120+. They also offer a argent with black back ground grill I believe.
