Would like to spruce up the front of my e350 van, have a billet one on the '93, love it but nobody makes a non stock grille for the '90. Anyone ever done anything w/the stock grille as far as replacing w/non stock ? Thanks in advance.
I have been looking at the 90 F350 billet/aluminum grille, you can get them on ebay for $60.00, 47 x 15, or so. they are basically the same width as the honeycombed/ little squares center that ours are that ours are, maybe a little taller. I have thought about ordering one, pulling off my complete grille and check the feasibility of carefully cutting out the center if I think I could mate it w/the '90 F350 billet grille. What do you think ?
Looks pretty good. Now the center section, were the Ford logo is, the square box section from headlight tp headlight is what I am talking about removing and putting in a billet, horizontal bars,

I am sure it could be done. The grill is just hard plastic and it doesn't provide any structural support. It is just a matter of how much time and money you want to invest.
Just ordered a billet grill for a '91 f series truck, will be a winter project to integrate it into my '90 E350 grille.
I think the truck grille is narrower and possibly shorter. But I've never compared them side by side. Even though I own both.
If someone really wanted to, with some time/money and a whole lot of aluminum bar stock. You could make a full width billet grille that covered the lights.
Well the 1st grille was a no go, the only measurements I could find on it were, much to my dismay, packaging measurements. Sold it to my brother and after a little bit more investigation and some calls to verify size lol, I ordered a billet grille for a '90 F series truck. The grille starts to angle in a couple of inches from the bottom but I don't see that as a problem at this time, almost finished and will post pics next week.
Of course the 2nd pic is of the grille, 1st is w/out the grille and last is the center that I removed.
Well it's done, I am happy. Only downside, although not for me because I ran into the same thing w/my '93 when I installed a billet grille was that you can no longer stick your hand in to unlatch the hood, I carry a 1' piece of wood lathe and stick it in between the 2 top horizontal rows...
