Wow, I just checked an order mag I have. I never noticed before, they skip over the 67 grill. I will be on the lookout for one for you.

If I recall what I have seen on here correctly the reason you cant find one is simple. The original Ford tooling for them was destroyed in a fire. I had the same problem myself till I accidentally ran across that info on here. I imagine that is why you see a lot of guys on here using the later years of the grills on the earlier trucks. If my info is wrong I am sure someone will step in and correct me.

I have LMC truck and NPD, and both skip the 67, but they do have the headlight doors and thasts it. strange. I might go with the 68 if it fits and I am about 99% sure it does.

you are correct the tooling for the 67-69 grilles were destroyed in a fire many years ago that is why you dont see any repops for those years that is why whenever i find one and i have the money i buy them i missed a steal of a deal on a nearly mint 69 ranger grille a couple months ago. the guy only wanted $50 for it.

all grilles will fit. you cant buy a new or reproduced 67-69 grille. they only reproduce the 70-72 grilles. all other years of grilles have to be bought used or NOS when they come available.

Have you tried Ebay? You can find some really nice polished ones but they're $$$$, ask me how I know...

I have a few dents in my 67 grille, my dad offered to take them out. He can work wonders with SS moldings, and makes them look brand new, so this should be a breeze for him. I am going to paint my grille the same color of the truck.

There is one off a 68 in parts for sale. If carfolite still has it.
