New 68-69 grill now available

Anybody order the new grill for these trucks from Dennis Carpenter? I was just wondering how the quality is. Do they have the 69 or the 68 style center bar? I can't tell from the picture in Hemmings.

I've been in constant contact with Dennis Carpenter for the past three years, as of last month these grilles are NOT available. I will call tomorrow and speak with my contact and post what I hear.

According to my source, The grilles, 61 of them are expected in this week.
I should be expecting mine by early next week. There will be 60 available to the public by next week. I do not know if they are taking orders for them at this time.

They also have an add in the new Trucks magazine.

As for the repo comment, Carpenter uses a lot of Ford tooling to make their products. The parts I have bought have fantastic fit and finish.
