1961's have F O R D in the center, 1962's have a 4 pointed star.
1961: C1TZ-8200-A .. Painted Grille / C1TZ-8200-B .. Anodized grille
1962: C2TZ-8200-A .. Painted grille / C2TZ-8200-C .. Anodized grille
The headlamp doors, buckets and attaching parts are the same 1961/66.
AFAIK, ebay is about the only source, you might also try hemmings.com / Section: Ford parts 1954 and up.

I Have had the painted 61 and a Chrome steel 61 grill and 62 Steel and Chrome chrome steel, but never an aluminum one for those years. The first i ran across a aluminum grill was in a 63.
And also the 64s 65s and 66s.

And...it may NOT be a 9 inch. Ford from 1961/67 installed Spicer (Dana) 44's in the rear if the truck was ordered with Limited Slip.
There's another (optional) F100 rear end used 1961/67, the Spicer (Dana) 60.2. This was considered a heavy duty rear end, and this Dana 60.2 uses 5 lug 5.50" bolt circle wheels.
NOTE: Spicer rear ends have a removable inspection cover, Ford 9 inchers do not.

You aren't dumb, there's a lot of ppl that don't know where the Warranty Plate is.
No one can learn everything about their trucks overnight.
Scheiss, I never heard the term "Slick" till I joined FTE.
Warranty Plate aka the Rating Plate on later models: On the inside of the glovebox door 1961/thru early 1963, and on the left door face near the latch on late 1963's thru the 1980's.

It can be folded in half.......But not quarters....
I need the 2 lower bars cut about 3 inches past the turn signal bucket along with a chunk of metal behind the head light door.
My old gallery garbz has a shot of the custom 63 grill i made for my Pro Street truck. I want to do a similar grill for the 63 Uni. I removed the turn signal and metal shaped the lower bar to replace it.
