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.

Where you can buy an aftermarket tube grill for a 67-72 Ford truck, I have looked in all my catalogs and searched the internet and I have not come up with anything so far...

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.

It does look nice with your truck`s colour but I know what you mean.
