Hi Fomoco_7, cool name! 67/72 will interchange, maybe minor differences and after that you have to get very creative. I remember an old magazine that have a 67 with a 66 Galaxie grill but that most have been hours of work. Looked great. Another idea is to buy a custom grill, most of the time a tube grill can be found after market.

Don`t recall who sold custom tube grills, it has been a while. It is possible that they are no longer availble but hope that is not the case. Time for me to start looking as it would look good on my 69. Have you checked JC Withney?

Yes I have checked JcWhitney, thats on of my favorite catalogs for throne room reading. Heh. Also LMC and Autokrafters, plus a couple of others I cannot remember right now, and I also check thru the advertisers pages of the Custom Classic Trucks magazine pretty often. I am looking for something with a little more bling than my plain white steel grill.

Thanks guys for the help, i have also looked for aftermarket grilles havnt come up with anything, a great place to look is LMC Truck and MAC's Antique auto parts they have a great selection of old ford parts its realy worth checking out.
