One thing to keep in mind is that the bullets are L, Center, and R. Presumably you need to find an extra L and R.

The grill and teeth are the same size for F1 and up.

I believe that the grille may be wider on F7, F8 and COE trucks. The teeth, or bullets, or dagmars should be the same. However, knowing how cheap Mr. Ford was, there would be no reason for him to make different size grilles. I know for sure that the 48-50 F7, F8 and COE grilles are wider than the F1-F6 conventional cab trucks.

You decide.

According to the Ford chassis parts catalog, 51-2 grille bars and teeth are the same for F1-6, including COE and parcel delivery. My book doesn't cover F7 & 8, so I don't know that for sure.

COEs use the same width front end as the F7 and F8 trucks. So, it's highly likely that the grilles are the same.

There, we solved that!
