Grill shell NOS... lol forget it unless you have 5 to 8 hundred bucks + I bet. Dennis Carpenter best reputation for repo quality and fit, sales his for $550, same for grill inserts and bumper.

Be prepared for sticker shock, NOS parts are usually not cheap. And the prices will vary wildly between sources (obsolete parts vendors & FoMoCo dealers) that have them.

Two different colors of R & L grille inserts were used in 1977. Black: D6TZ-8150-A right & D6TZ-8151-A left / Charcoal: D7TZ-8150-A right & D7TZ-8151-A left.

The R & L Styleside tail lamp lens and body (D5UZ-13404-A right & D5UZ-13405-A left) is a one piece molded plastic assembly. Same: 1975/79 F100/350, 1975/91 Econoline, 1978/79 Bronco.

1976's from serial number C50,001 and 1977's have amber park lamp lenses using clear bulbs. The lens and body (D6TZ 13200-A right/left same) is a one piece molded plastic assembly.

Here are the mirror choices: Type 9 was the most popular, but there are two different types. The type of brackets (flat or curved) and the span of the arms is the difference.

 

The outer grill shell is anodized aluminium, you can not get it rechromed....once you take the anodizing off (you know you can do that right?) you will have to continue to polish it other wise it will whiten dull on you. You might be able to get it re-anodized?

 

Sorry didn't mean rechrome , meant to have chrome plated. They said it wouldn't be any problem chroming the aluminum.

 

just a note on tri city,,,, We also TRIPLE PLATE all bumpers to insure a show quality chrome finish. Turn around times will vary at different times of the year. Call for approximate times. All of our bumpers have a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.Also was wondering how a powder coat of clear would do on the outer grill shells?
