Need Help on 77 F150

I wanting to know it you can replace the front grille on a 1977 F150 with a 1979 F150 grille? I'm looking to change the grille to give a cooler look!

My guess is you are going to have to change the headlight plastic bezel and headlights to the square headlights. The 77 has round headlights right? and the 79 has the squares?

I want to change the whole grille without the split in the middle like a 79 has!

yeah they interchange, but grab all of the headlight housings stuff too, as you will need to drill a couple holes to line them up on each side. Or swap out the entire grill support shell and make sure the radiator still fits with that shell.

Dejavu… I’ve heard you make that rectangular vs. square comment before haven’t I mil1ion? Oh, by the way mil1ion, have you seen this post? https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=436142
