Nice Aftermarket Grill
Just got my 69 F-100 back from my mechanic, put in a 351c for me. Awesome. Now I want to start fixing up the body and getting it ready for paint, one thing I would like to do is replace the dented painted front grill with a nicer aftermarket one. Does anyone have any suggestions, or websites, I can check out? When I do a search on the 'Net every hit I get is for grills on newer Ford trucks, and even my JcWhitney catalog no longer carries any aftermarket grills for these old F-100's.

I would like a better grill for my 69 F100 as well, found most other parts such as a dash pad winsheild, etc. Seems to be the hardest to find a nice grill. Haven`t looked just starting.

Well I have gone through the LMC truck catalog, Auto Krafters catalog, JcWhitney catalog, California Customs catalog, and one other Ford truck catalog (I can't remember the name of it right now), and no one seems to have anything for it. If you find one let me know, and I will do the same.

I don't think there are any Remanufactured or after market munfucaturers making grilles for our trucks. Bummer becuase they could make a killin just on in this fourm alone. I know I would like to find a Steel grille that I could paint. Steel seem to be the hardest to find. Aluminum in good shape are nearly as hard to find, but I have seen a few in a Local junk Yard. That is the best place for a Grille, Junk Yard.
