1966 grill help

I need a grill for my truck it is one of the last thing that i need and no one makes it WFT!!! Does anyone know where I can get one. I am sure that i am not the only person who need one. Everyone has them in the parts magazines but all i here is, its on back order and check back. I have been checking back for a year now. So any help would be great.

thanks

Hopefully; Number Dummy will see this post and reply; he got a contact that possiblity has NOS; not a repo made overseas; but he also might know of a vendor that has one as well.

Where you live will also be a consideration; I got one that's okay for a daily driver but not show & shine quality.

There are two different 1966 grilles.

C6TZ8200A .. Steel Painted Grille-Standard Cab / Obsolete

C6TZ8200B .. Anodized Aluminum Grille-Custom Cab / Obsolete

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has either one.
------------------------------------------------------
Dennis Carpenter has no C6TZ8200B reproductions available.

They've been on back order for over two years. When you call DC and ask, they don't know when the grille will be (if ever) available again.

I noticed that ad, it's for C6TZ8200B

5 bills ($500.00) isn't too bad when one considers it's Genuine Ford (not a repop), the last MSRP was $412.91 and it's been obsolete for over 20 years.

If you want to have one chromed I have a perfectly straight one (Steel) with headlight bezels. You chrome
If you want polished aluminum you'll need to keep looking. I see them on ebay from time to time. You'll pay a good price for it polished.

I waited for you to confirm which grille you wanted. I can't and wont carry all of what I have. I never got an email or call from you so I took care of my business. I'm constantly on the go I check emails regularly and return calls as soon as possible. I travel over 400 miles on weekends getting and delivering parts (if there in the same location I'm going to that weekend) I need quick responses otherwise I move on. Like I said before I can ship what you want but you pay for item including shipping up front.
So with that said... what grille did you want? you never confirmed.

If considering chroming, suggest going with steel. Got a quote few yrs. ago to have 65 alum grille reanodizes and came to between $400-$500. Ended up with a 'do it myselfer'.

Ive got a super nice original aluminum grille...excellent tabs, etc....not cheap...but its not an easy find...let me know if interested....

If you want CHROME....you need a steel one...which I dont have...I do have some steel headlight doors though....

I have a fair aluminum grille---needs straitening, which I will sell cheaply. However, I don't send/ship parts...cash only at my house. I have several parts for '64 & '66 trucks, but all are used and not show quality. They are all serviceable until you can find the perfect replacement. Bezels, grilles, light assemblies, and even a slightly bent bumper.

I found 2 NOS grilles and have an extra but do not really want to sell it as appears getting very hard to find. I also have a very very nice original. Nice used are not so hard to find and can be re-done.
