72 grille inserts

Has anyone seen the 71 grille inserts that used the center moulding? I decided I was going to use my 72 grille on my 72 build because I had the inserts. I have an extra 70 grille as well but I do not have the inserts for it. Anyway, after looking more at the inserts, I noticed they looked like they were missing something. Looking at pics of other peoples inserts, my were looking different. In this forum, I havent noticed any with the center piece. Here is a pic of mine. The moulding runs across the center horizontally.


I found some pics on ebay of 71 and 72 inserts with the center moulding. The part number is D1TB-8A405-AC on the back side and a ford logo. These were on the truck when I got it even though it is a 72 f250. They are almost shaped like the hood trim across the front.

Yes, there is a stainless steel molding that snaps onto the grill. I will send some pics tonight as I have some off the truck now.

So this trim should be only 71 but will fit 72?

Your grille looks different. I seen pics of one on ebay that had the four slots like the 72 and had the snap on piece. All the 72 inserts I seen for sale at the usual spots did not have the trim piece and looked like your truck. I forgot to change my title after remembering mine were from a 71. The previous owner must have changed them or who knows, it could have came with them.

Here is a link to ebay that showed a 72 inserts with the trim piece.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/14210578681...gAAOSwGtRXyaOA. Not sure how to add the pic instead of a link.
After looking closer at this insert, it looks like it wont go on that at all anyways. I think it is 71 only.
