Help....installing new grill shell
Hey guys,
I bought my 75 F250 on the terms that when the grill he ordered came in, I would pick it up along with the box with the mounting bolts. In short, it rained and rusted everything in "the box" and he threw out the whole box. So now I need to know what bolts and clips I need to mount this thing up. Bronco graveyard has a grill clip set, but they don't have a bolt set. Do I buy the grill clip set with 16 clips and then buy 16 bolts individually, and are they the same size for the whole grill. I am also installing the two inserts as well. On the subject, the grill shell doesn't really line up with the holes, but it is made out of sheet metal and can be bent. Am I supposed to bend it to fit or do I have the wrong part? Thanks in advance for any and all help.
