05 Grill NEEDS 05 bumper?

I put the 05 headlights on my truck a while ago along with the 05 headboard. For Christmas I got the 05 grill but I dont have the bumper yet.

Yesterday I tried to put the grill on but the bumper is in the way. So, is the 05 bumper shaped differently than my 01 bumper? Or is something else misaligned?

You either need an 05-07 bumper, or to trim roughly 1" from the bottom of the grille.

No problem....

Just a thought, IDK what your "funds" look like, but you can buy one that has been per-trimmed from you, MKM customs sell them for roughly $250ish shipped.
Chrome Ford Super Duty/Excursion Grille Conversion
IDK what a bumper goes for.... I figure the end cost will be similar unless you find a great deal on a bumper. Good luck.

If you buy everything new from RockAuto it will cost $500 for a full conversion.

This is a write-up for cutting down an '05 grille to fit a '99-'04 with a stock head panel and bumper. With some modification for attaching the bottom of the '05 grille it should work with the '05 head panel.
