1966 Ford truck grille
Thanks but D.C. is not carrying them since last year, it will be n stock next December as they said, and all other vendors dont have them.
They all get it from D.C, he the only one fabricates them grilles in U.S.

Mike, a phone # of the place might be nice for him, if you know it. ftrk66's address says Saudia Arabia. Other side of the world, and HOT. 
ftrk66, I'm assuming your in Saudia Arabia and you have your 66 with you. How cool is that...

truckandcarshop.com / 800-235-2470 / Do not be surprised if the grille is not for sale.
This grille is for "display only" and has been hangin' there since at least 6/2008 when Don (camperspecial65) and I went there for the first time.
This occurred a coupla days before the F100 Western Nats Truck Show, held at Canyon RV Park (aka Gopher Holes Acres) in NE Anaheim.

WELL, if he can't get a new 66 grille, maybe someone has a nice used one to sell him.
I know I can't seem to get a break on a nice used 65' grille. O Well, maybe some day. Just about the time their ready to plant me under my favorite tree.

I should be done with a 66 aluminum grille within two weeks, as long as things keep moving smoothly. Completely polished with bezels.

Thank you all for sharing this search on 66 Ford truck grille,
The used grilles is not wanted much as the brand new ones, folks around here willing to pay for the a new one (500-600 bucks), they are restoring trucks for show, and the copmetition is very I would say strong.
In Saudi Arabia Frod trucks were the#1 truck amoung all makes since 1948 and till the boycott in 1967 because of the middleast war.
When Ford trucks reimported in 1987, it didnt reach that reputation and sales it has back in the sixties. Chevy and GM trucks are the leading sales sofar.
Lots of Entusiasts here kept and restored old Ford truck to bring back the heretage of good old days, they have some nationals around the year, I dont know where to post some photos so you all can see them, may be in my album, there are some pic's.
I am looking for a new grille either NOS or reproduced.

It will be hard to find a NOS grille now days they are still out there but hard part is finding them or getting them for a fair price. If you want a factory grille you can't beat gangstakr's he does amazing work every part I seen him do turned out great I'd say best bet is to get a reproduction or get one from Robert I sure know which one id go with and it wouldn't be the repop
Gangstakr what's up with the ranger xlt panel on eBay I seen it had no takers the first time around?

Thanks for the kind words on my grilles. This person obviously wants a new or re-pop 66 grille. So I will bow out.

One source that may be overlooked for pre-'67s are the big trucks. There's a '66 F-600 a few miles from me parked in someone's back yard. Doesn't appear to have been moved for years but has what looks like a perfect aluminum grille.

yes, I need a new one.
but I would ask this:
Is the original grille the aluminum type?, What about the chromed one?, Did Ford Company made any chromed ones.
Obsolete Reliable Parts Company of Nasville, Georgia has one chromed for $485.
