302 coupe said:heres mine. I really like the 61-66 body style, particularly the 65-66. We've got two 65 shortbeds, a 66 F250 longbed, and a 65 F600 flatbed. Mine was a custom cab, but I shaved all the trim off the side.
It looks like your truck has a 64 grill and hood. The hoods are the same, you just have redundant emblems, easy fix though. Looks like a solid piece.
Ya, I think I may keep the 64 grill and mount driving lights where the park lights belong, I have the correct grill but I don't like it as much as this one. I'm still contemplating a tilt nose so I may not need the hood at all, the hood needs work and so do both front fenders and I'm missing the lower stoneguard. I found a complete tilt kit for 1000 bux, may be the way to go, depends on what I find for parts in the mean time.

302 coupe said:I saw a truck at the F100 Nationals one year that had a glass nose. I can't vouch for the brand he had or the craftsmanship that was involved in putting it on, but it did not look good at all. Have you ever been going down the freeway next to a newer Kenworth or Freightliner with the tilt front end? Ever noticed how they fit kinda loose and flap around? The front end on that guys truck looked about the same. If you think you can pull it off and have a good result, don't let me stop you. I see fenders and stuff on ebay all the time, it would be worht the effort to track down some steel replacment parts. I know LMC truck sells ALOT of sheetmetal for the old trucks, so check there too.
