GRILL ?

Post by jreyes »

I OWN A 1972 F100 BUT LIKE THE GRILL ON THE 67'S SO I WONDER IF I CAN REPLACE MY 72 FOR 67..THE QUESTION IS, DO I NEED TO REPLACE FENDERS AND ALL THAT OR IS JUST MATHER EXCHANGING THE GRILL........

THANKS...

The 67-69 grilles and the 70-72 grilles can be swapped. The only thing you would want to change, and you dont HAVE to, is the lower valance... You can read more here in this tech article: http://www.fordification.com/tech/67-72ID_02.htm

The 70-72 parking lights attach to the lower valance while the 67-69 are part of the grille. And the valance is a slightly different shape for the lights. So you may want to make that lower valance swap just to make it look right.

Well, yeah... :yt: the headlight bezels as well. But I just assumed that you would use the headlight bezels for whatever grille you are swapping to. The 70-72 headlight bezels and the 67-69 headlight bezels are not interchangeable.
