67-72 Parts
After having recently acquired a 68 F-100 long bed for pretty cheap we are just trying to get it back into decent mechanical and cosmetic shape. A few pieces are missing or are bent up beyond repair and while some pieces are available in reproductions they are too expensive as we are doing this on a budget and can't afford to spend stupid money for these parts. I wondered if anyone might have the parts that I seek for a reasonable price. The parts are, radio bezel, the front valance/gravel shield panel that goes between the bumper and the grille, the striker pin for the door latch that bolts to the cab itself, the grille inserts for the 70 or 71as my truck has the 70-72 front grille on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi John, I may have a couple of the things you are looking for, depending on if you are looking for "mint" pieces, of something that may be ok to use.
I have a radio bezel that on a scale of 1 - 10 would be maybe a 61/2 or 7,
and I have a stone shield that, with minimum work could look brand new.
You could even save some shipping costs by taking a Sunday drive down to my neck of the valley
would also be very reasonable, as I am all for keeping as many of these old beasts on the road as possible.

Hi, thanks for your quick response! I'm not looking for any mint pieces, just something better than really bent up or missing entirely so let me know how much and I'd certainly like to purchase them from you. A Sunday drive would be nice but unfortunately i just don't have any time at the moment or the near future to be on the road for 6 hours up and and back. So shipping might be the only option I have, besides shipping might be cheaper than driving considering gas prices are likely to be going up real soon. Thanks again and let me know whenever you have an opportunity to do so.

If your truck has a 1970/72 grille and parking lamps, you'll need the 1970/72 F100/350 valance panel. 1967/69 F100/350 valance panel will not work.
Striker plates same 1967/72 F100/750.
1970 F100/350 grille frame and inserts (egg crate/checkerboard pattern) are 1970 only and there are 2 different types.
1971/72 F100/350 grille frame is the same, inserts are either 1971 or 1972, but either will work.

'70 and '72 grille inserts are reproduced brand new but '71 grille inserts are not reproduced. '71 inserts would be NOS (if you can find them) or wrecking yard items if you can find them in good shape.

Thanks everyone for your input, I'm new to the 67-72 F-100s and I'm learning about them as I've always had an affinity for them and now I have one. Mine is the third one in our neighborhood as they belong to my neighbors, one is a 68 longbed Ranger, the other is s 72 longbed Custom Cab that the owner bought new in 72.

Well, I can check in to what it would cost to ship the stone guard to you in the Capital, if you supply me with a zip...start there, then we can figure out affordable prices for the parts, if shipping is not too out of this world.

Since your a newbie on here to the bump~side Kingdom, I'll give to a tip. Visit your loco Pick N pull junk yard as they have a some 67-72 trucks listed being put in that yard.
Maybe you know about this place, junk yards is where we get most of our replacement parts.

[QUOTE=NumberDummy;17089065]1967 F100/750 radio & bezel is 1967 only. 1968/72 F100/750 is different.
1970 F100/350 grille frame and inserts (egg crate/checkerboard pattern) are 1970 only and there are 2 different types.
Bill, can you clear up the "2 different types"?

1970 F100/350 from serial number J30,001: The right and left grille inserts are the same (both are D0TZ-8150-B right sides).
You cannot use a D0TZ-8151-A left grille insert in a 1970 grille frame from serial number J30,001 as the mounting tabs are in a different location.

Including 2-1967 and 1-1969 Ranger grilles that he's done his awesome job of polishing to. You need
to look at his grilles in the daylight.
