grills
alright, i have a 1969 ford F100, with an aluminum grill, i have a small dent on the bottom right hand corner of my grill, and it bugs the hell out of me, is there any place i can get an aftermarket grill, or even the same pattern, i would like to get a billet, but i believe you have to get that made custom, i have looks in several place and all over the internet and it seems the only way to go is custom, thanks

Cut some tubing to fit between the headlights. Braze silver dollars to the tubing, fairly close together on each bar all the way across. You'll have a unique grill and it will probably be cheaper than getting one that's better than what you already have.

I suggest you find a steel grill. Aluminum grills in NOS condition are very hard to come by because they were soft and dented easily. Steel grills are a lot easier to find, and can be repaired to perfect looking condition while being chromed by a good chroming company.

Check out www.dennis-carpenter.com If you want one with bright finish it's $400 without inserts. A painted one is $100

I found a great aluminum '67 on Ebay during the summer. You just have to look around and be patient. I haven't found any reproduction '67-69 grilles so far.

bigric- Do you remember what the grill sold for? Just curious. I look for them in boneyards whenever I go. It really makes me wonder what condition the grills were in when I see that someone yanked it. Years ago, I paid $50 for another grill after someone mashed mine.
