From 73 to 77 with the 2 piece grill inserts there were several different optional sets dependant on what model the truck was , a F150 Custom for intsance did not have the same ones as a Ranger or XLT .

That last truck is ruined in my eyes. they couldnt have even put a front clip that remotely flowed with the rest of the picture. maybe if it was chopped...nah there's no recovery.

I replaced the plastic grill inserts in my 76 with the 73-75 argent ones. I found nos ones at the swap meet for $50 for the pair.

You have to admit that was a lot of work to get that front end on that truck, look's like crap but the guy did a good job.

i guess i can give props for effort, ive been seeing some crazy vehicle combos lately, just last week i seen a 97 (dare i say ) chevy Xcab truck with the front of a 53 chevy truck front end molded in, it was strange seeing that newer truck with an old faded barely blicking turn signal, i was amazed how he could even get the lines close,some people have too much free time.....
