I think I would stick with the 04 header panel if you are going to use the 04 bumper. Then you can mod it for the headlights.
good luck,
Steven

I don't know about the cheap part. But www.powerstrokeshop.com and www.1stfordparts.com have pretty good prices. You could start there and send them some emails for quotes?

good luck,
Steven

if you want to use the 04 bmper, you must use the 04 header. its not that the header will not work, its just that the 04 grill will not clip in at the bottom. what are you doing about a gril? are you getting a new grill? if the truck is damaged, this would be the best time to do everything.

i'm just not sure if i want to replace the bumper... i cant use the 04 bumper with an 05 grille right?... i am a bit torn as to what i want to replace..

Even though i've been paid for the repairs i cant justify replacing a bumper with a small tiny scratch..

Yes you can. Just trim off the bottom of the 05 grille. Lots of guys do that. Tape it off and trim away with a dremel tool. Then zip tie in the bottom of the grille. The main mounts are at the top and they line up fine. The bottom mounts will not work since the header panel is just a tad bit different then the older style.

If you want to upgrade the whole front end later just sell the grille. You will have no problem selling it.

good luck,
Steven
