Bug Shield For 1978

I am looking for a smoked bug shield for my 1978 camper special. I looked on lmc but none available last I looked. Any other places to order one?

If you can't find one , why not make it ? Piece of lexan, some aluminum , screws and bolts. Surely you could come up with something .

I've got one off of one of my trucks, don't know anything about it other than I took it off because I don't like them. I'd get rid of it if it's worth something and shipping isn't a pain.

it's in this pic:

Looks like that bug shield is short...all the ones I've seen reach about halfway across the headlights.

Watch your local salvage yards. I picked this one up off a 78 Bronco for $10. It is a "Bug Off" brand which I'm guessing is an older one, and it goes almost halfway across the headlights.

Don't know where you're located, but I just did a quick search and came across this. It's worth a try: 73-79 Ford Truck bug shield | Charleston | eBay Classifieds (Kijiji) | 31297520

Ah the rule is NEVER throw NOTHING away Ford truck related, trade 2 shot guns and pay 150 to get it moved for a shed and fill it up. LOL

BTW, its not hoarding, its called "Fording" lol.

Those visors are notorious for rubbing badly on the grill shell back edge and the bottom/edge of the hood (paint).

Well ok what ever, lol I could care less about post count at all. I try to help where I can, maybe be funny every so often, and provide parts, some tech help or ideas to the guys that need them.

And just because I happen to have alot of spare time on my hands while I am working overseas, this kills time, is enjoyable to me (till folks like you chime in) and keeps me out of the bars. lol

You have been very helpful with your comments on the other thread, to the point it got shut down. I at least do not have that honor. Don't like the what I post, don't double click it, simple as that.

I'll keep typing away and you just keep ignoring, you know how to not open a thread right? That way you do not have to read any of my "few of them are meaningful, most are just filler, or completely ridiculous altogether.", thread replies.

For what its worth, I find your posts to be very helpful . I think camarodude must be on his period. By the way, I think you gonna have to build a new shed with more shelves before too long.
