Needed NOS 72 grille shell

HI again,

While following a dump truck, a tire blew and nailed my grille. I just completed a frame off restoration three years ago, to have this happen. I was lucky enough last time to find a grille shell through a FTE member, it cost me dearly, but having the best is worth it! If anyone knows where I can get another one with a left insert, I would greatly appreciate some one dropping me a line on it.

Thanks

I spent many months looking for FORD parts, so that I could say it was all ORIGINAL Ford parts.. I have used Dennis Carpenter in the past with success, however it is not NOS Ford...

Thanks,

Ford tooling

Some of those aftermarket companies have original Ford tooling to press some of those metal parts. That would be close enough for me, but I'm not into OEM
