Easy Grill Question...

I just saved a 69 F250 bump from the crusher. The thing is a great survivor (99% rust free) however it was involved in a driver side impact. I found a new hood but also need a new grill and fender. Are the grills from the bump era all the same? I am well versed in the dentside specifics, but not so much for the bumps, any help would be greatly appreciated.

69 is a year specific grill. check out LINKY for the basic identifying parts from the bump years.

Well ****... thanks for the sticky, now will the other bump years bolt right up or are the mounting locations different? I think the odds of me finding a 69 fender and grill are pretty slim. I was able to find a hood off a 68 i think, so i got lucky there in the fact it doesn't have the fancy chrome trim.

The metal panel behind the bumper (Ford called it a stone deflector) has to match the year grille you pick because of the recess for the 70 and up parklamps. The upper metal panel that has the hole in it for the hood latch striker has to match whichever hood latch you use.

This only applies to Rangers.

1967 painted steel (C7TZ-8200-B) and anodized aluminum (C7TZ-8200-C) grilles are 1967 only. 1968/69 painted steel grille (C8TZ-8200-D) is the same.

1968 anodized aluminum grille (C8TZ-8200-E) is the same Custom Cab/Ranger and 1969 Custom Cab only.

1969 Ranger anodized aluminum grille (C9TZ-8200-A) is 1969 Ranger only, center horizontal grille bar inset painted red.

Painted steel headlamp bezels same 1967/69. Anodized aluminum headlamp bezels same 1967/68 and 1969 Custom Cab only.

1969 Ranger anodized aluminum headlamp bezels are unique as the area surrounding the seal beam is painted black.

Jeff: FoMoCo replaced the 1967/69 stone deflector (C7TZ-17A862-A) with the 1970/72 type (D0TZ-17A862-A) for use as a service part replacement.

As long as you change the whole assembly you will be fine. Including park lamps and headlamp bezels.

Thank Jeff. I bought a whole parts truck so that shouldn't be an issue.

Your welcome. Nose around this forum. There has been many pics of trucks with 67 grilles. Painted white, Painted body color, and polished. You can get a idea of what you want to do with yours.
