nice! I really like. it looks similar to the JCW one, I just dont know how big that one is w/o a picture of it mounted on our era of trucks ... is this one on ebay just 1 that you found, or is it a seller who has multiple ones? (I didnt take the time to check out his store or anything)

Seriously man, open up that auction link I posted, scroll down through the auction and towards the bottom it has a picture of our truck with the guard mounted on it.
And yes, this is the only dealer I have ever seen that makes and or carries a brush guard for our year trucks. Hope that helps.

JeremyG... there was absolutely zero drilling that had to be done when I installed my grill guard from JCW. Also I opted to get the brushguards (headlight guards) with it, it really gave my truck some additude. Check out my gallery I think one of the pics of my 84 has this brush guard on it.

I like that Ford one. That looks cool.
It looks good except for the headlight wrap arounds. I also, wouldn't want anything blocking or interfering with the headlight beam. They look cheesy anyway. I would get that type of guard without them. I think I would go with the JCW one. If you decide that you want the wrap arounds later you can buy them separately.
If I still had my 85 F150 I would probably go for a grille guard like this one, if I decided to put on on it. He has a body lift so thats why it doesn't look as tall. Usually these guards come up to the top of the grille.
