Also, why wouldn't that grille cover fit a 99 F350 SD? Is a 250 & 350 grille really that different?

That will fit any F250 or F350 1999-2004. It fits over the top of the existing grill.

I think it actually bolts on with some kind of brackets so you don't mess up the original grille.

You may want to call them first and ask exactly what the item is. Does it cover the Ford oval? Says it is a two piece insert. Is it the main grille cover or is it the two small side parts? Things "I" would ask. Let us know what you find out.

Thank you for starting this thread Jason. I'd been trying to decide whether to repaint my grill or add an insert.

Mine's ordered. Seems like a good price and with feedback like that, it's no scam.
