Front Grilles

Hey there crew.

Am just wondering if anyone has done any custom work with their grilles,
(eg. billet fronts, driving lights, fabrication of new inserts)?

Made a few aluminum inserts and a couple stainless steel tube type inserts... Lots of nice ones available aftermarket now....Depends on how much time and $$$ you want to spend fabricating your own or just having a store bought set....

the grille insert on my 79 f-250 was painted gold to match color of the truck. not sure exactly what color is it. But I was told that it was a factory color from a 2000 model

Lets not promote LMC cause they dont sponsor this site. Buy from our sponsors so our free site stays free. Besides their stuff is not only cheap but built cheap and doesnt fit well.

Mostly it is new users that promote LMC because they don't realize the importance of FTE and its sponsors until they hear from us explaining why.

Most people have common sense and will realize it is in their best interest to support someone that help them rather than just "Take their money"

I know Ken appreciates everyone support regarding this.

Sorry all, i didn't mean to offend anyone..... Over here in Australia, F-series parts are hard to come by second-hand, let alone new! Being half a world away, It's kinda hard to know who is selling "cheap junk" and who is not. I do understand the importance of supporting those who support us. My apologies......

No reason to apologize! All of us have done it from time to time.
