FYI on shipping... The cheapest is FedEx Ground to a commercial address because commercial routes are "normal". They don't have to make a special trip to a little stead of the county just to deliver one box. And shipping is based on the box dimensions and of course, its weight.

Shopping for a 69 f-100
What I am looking for is the square aluminum, Bright polished aluminum that surrounds each headlight and attaches to the grill shell. It also has aluminum trim a the bottoms of the door, front fender, and box. The piece I am missing is on the lower drivers front fender. I would guess that is about 4 inches high by about 6 inches long.. I live in Crete , Nebraska. 68333.

I found out when, I sold my old front grille this was the cheapest way to ship it then. Out of all the big 3 shipping Co's in San Jose Ca.
I use the same shipping carton my new grille came in.
This may still be the cheapest way still to ship. A person could drive to their nearest bus lines and pick it up. So if someone lives near a Bus route it maybe still be the cheapest way for shipping. I don't know if it would have to all be boxed up.

But that should be a piece of cake to nab for you and send off. I can probably fit it all in one of those USPS flat rate boxes too, so shipping isn't a bear.

I have one blank bezel left and I'm going to populate it with aftermarket gauges and use it instead. If it weren't for the electronic speedo in my T5, I would be keeping it in my own truck.

I could use a nice clean short bed think you could pull it and shop it to PA for 250 bucks? Haha damn seriously though why must the west coast be so packed full of these trucks and have great usable parts on top of it all.
