Well boys and girs here we go. some have been waiting for this and to some this is new. Hope you all enjoy.
Started off with your typical grill shown here
I purchased some grill material from Osh.
as you can see it comes in a 16"x30". Just make sure you buy it going the correct direction.
I then cut a piece 9"x 30" with a sawzall (cuts like butter )
Then painted black. *be sure to coat both sides this stuff will rust in no time!
After remoing the grill shell from the truck I cut out the center using a Dremal. But leaving space on each side.
As shown here. The reason why is because the grill material is 30" wide and the opening is 31" wide What can I say! So by leaving room on both side it will fit. After the center of you grill is on the floor
you will end up painting those little pices on the sides that you left as shown in the picture of the opening.
Your grill should fit snug in between these two tabs you left. this will hope hold the grill in too. Then I installed small "L" brakets to hold in the top snug forward. I used a cople of screws at the bottom to hold it forward there. For the most part the grill will hold it self in by those tab you left.
This is what it will look like..
Now we install back on the truck...at this point don't forget to put your "FORD" badge back on if you want it. (just screws on)
I installed lights before putting my griil back on....
This is pretty easy. The pasenger side hole is there but a drivers hole will need to be drilled. I then used a 2.5" piece of square stock to rise the lights up.
This is what you get...
I need to get a better picture but my only problems have been the lights are to far into the grill and when on you get a crazy pattern from the grill on the outsides of you beam. It kinda funny. But they work!
Hope you guys like.
