WTB 1968 grille/brush guard

[Ohiotinkerer]

Looking to buy a grille/brush guard for my 68 F100 - something that would have been sold for that era truck. Borrowed another members photo as an example.....

prefer something close to my location but if it can be shipped I would be interested!

It's probably not period enough, but I scored this off a dent. The profile on the brackets is almost the same as my bumper (close enough that nobody has ever noticed it's for a different model). It took a few hours with a drill and grinder to get it to fit underneath where it bolts to the frame rail, and a couple of washers under the top bracket to fill the small gap between the bracket and bumper. It's a lot smaller and doesn't extend out to the sides like the one in your pic, but I just wanted to let you know that if you find something you like on a dentside, it'll probably fit with a little tweaking.

Thanks for the info and the photo but got my heart set on the other style - trying to keep with the old farm truck look and remember when I was a kid a lot of the farm trucks had those or the chrome tube style....both of which I am finding out are getting scarce....but that hasn't stopped me from looking........

FOUND!!! Lots of searching has paid off - had to pay more to ship it than I paid for it but 5 months of looking and zero results I figured I better grab it.....

Post us a pic when you get her mounted.

Will do! I've got a bed full of stuff tucked under the tonno cover I'm waiting to do......but no garage so its gonna be March or April before I get to it. I did hold it up to get a look at it against the front of the truck and really can't wait to get it on - between that and my new wheels and tires should give it the look I'm going for!

So... did you ever get this grille guard put on? Curious as to how it looks!

I totally forgot to post a photo of it.......i need a vacation!............. ........I also switched back to the stock rims and tires size on the front (not in this photo)..........now the front to rear track looks better and it doesn't wander as much as it did before.........
