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.

Yessir! That would be the one! Did you check out my gallery? The main picture in the "My 84" album shows a pretty good shot of it from LF corner. It actually fit quite nicely, I am happy with it.

I also just noticed that my LMC truck parts catalog sells a brush guard in chrome or black. It looks a lot like the JCW one, but who knows from the littler picture. It looks good though.
