Welcome to FTE.
There are different ones. Depends on if your truck is a Ranger or not. Gangstakr used to refurbish old used ones. I'm not sure if he still does. He did/does do amazing work. He straightens out a used one, works any dents out, then polishes them to be better than brand new. For something that was anodized from the factory, his look chrome. All this takes a lot of time and work. So they aren't cheap. But worth it. He may chime in here.

Without a doubt, FTE is the best place to get the straight dope from really knowledgeable guys on these trucks. However...
you might want to join a FB group dedicated to 67-72 F-Series pickups for big parts searches. That's probably your best bet for finding someone within driving distance for something like a grille that's expensive to ship.
I'm in SC, so shipping would cost a ton, and aluminum grilles have a rep for getting crushed during shipping.

I'm down in the Tri Cities WA and a FB Marketplace search turned up a number of grills around the state. Unfortunately I'm not seeing any in Wenatchee so it looks like a drive might be in your future. I have an extra 67 grill but that would be the wrong one for your truck as 67 was a one year only. If you don't already look on Marketplace start a new hobby and hit it up everyday...
I find truck stuff listed on there all the time. Good luck and happy hunting.

This one south of Tacoma looks to be very straight and only surface rust. A little body work and fresh paint and it's as good as new...

FoPar1972 has posted an excellent option. Front bumper core support and steel grill for $600.00 you can't beat that.
Any way, thanks for the plug Jeff. Talk with you soon.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the plug. Before I could jump in others already offered grille options. I don't step on toes, so I'll not offer at this time.

AKA, the truth. Remember because of the job you do on your grilles, I gave you the title of Kingdom Dentist on my humorous Kingdom thread? I meant it then and now.
