grille swap

Does anyone know if a grille off of a '68 F100 will bolt onto a '70 F100? I like the clean looks better. Thanks in advance.

It's possible, but you will need more than just the grille. Parklamps are different, wiring is different. Upper grille panel and grille brackets are different. You'd need a donor truck to get all the parts. The 1970's grille frame is the same as 1971/72. Changing just the plastic inserts to the 71/72 style will get rid of the massed checkboard look the 1970's have.
