I went up North hunting and got my buck, unfortunately with my truck. I got lucky, only took out half the grill, drivers side directional and bottom of headlight lenses, and the side mirror. So no coolant leak and I had 2 headlights to drive home. The header panel has a crack but I just want it to look ok and be functional for now. My driver door is already crushed and I get in from the other side. So when I look for a grille and grille trim(red), anything from 97-03 xlt larait correct? Expedition too? How do I get the headlight and directional housings? Are they listed separate or part of the header panel? Does that entire assembly go by a different name? Any tips on replacing side mirror(remote with signal) Thanks

 

give a call to your local salvage yards, the expedition has the same components so they fit too. (my truck has the chrome surround and grill from an expedition) Any trim level F150 grill and surround should fit, it may not be the same as what you had though

 

I agree with 1972-2003f150, your local salvage yard will have a lot of your answers. LMC truck usually will have new parts & of course Ford Parts. A dealership with a reasonable parts department should be able to show you how things go together

 

Junk yard baby! That's what I call my truck although sometimes she's also know as the Frankenstein truck. This is mainly due to the fact that I got parts from at least 20 different trucks in her. LOL

 

When I bought the truck it looked like the previous owner had stepped into the grill and broke it. A buddy who works at the local salvage yard located an Expedition grill and surround for me, $75. I pulled the grill out and painted it with SEM trim black because I didn't like the argent grey color.

Here's a handy salvage yard search tool I've used in the past. The part you want to search is "header panel"
