I have now uploaded the price list with all grille part numbers (in my gallery). The prices are probably LIST as Torrie quoted me $127 for a $155 grille. He also said S&H would be about $8-10. My email correspondence with him was back in February 2004.

Grille part number list: http://gordonmerrill.110mb.com/truck...rs_576x613.jpg

As for www.Genuine-Ford-Parts.com, check the following link. But, they're higher priced than Torrie.

I'm looking to swap my Lariat grille for a King Ranch grille - dealer says around $230, will need to get it painted (more $$) and they don't have it in stock - order item... Anybody have any advice?

{Gordo~ seen your ride around town - recognized it immediately from the logos )

SlapPaddle, I'll have to keep my eye out for you now. That bumper guard shouldn't be too hard to spot. And you have nothing to lose by emailing Torrie about the 2005 KR grille! Just do it. The dealership is going to make a nice profit margin on such a buyout item.

Here are King Ranch grille pics from RockPick's gallery. He still needs to clean up his galleries to keep his old model KR pics separate from his new model KR pics.

Its funny how the G.A.P. insert looks so factory. No one would ever notice if they didn't own a F-150.

Hi all,

I'm also looking for a new grille. I'm going to buy a Speed Scene grille insert and need a grille that has the chrome trime around the insert. I have the black honey comb grille now on my XLT with the black trim around it. Anyone want to swap out the whole grille assembly?

John D.

Why yes. I guess I do need to clean them up. That might be a project for tonight.

HIDPLANET, the 2004 and 2005 grilles are all the same, so CTF150's grille should work for you without any problems.

RockPick, I mentioned your large gallery of mixed pictures on purpose. I knew you'd read this post. I emailed you about cleaning it up right after you got your '05 KR. You said you hadn't had the time. Well, it's been a few months, right!?

Guys I can tell you one thing I did that I personally think looks good. I have a 05 FX4 and really did not like the FX4 grille so I bought a grille out of a Lariat which was the goldish color. I took it and had it painted gloss black and used my gloss back surround on it and it really looks great with my new black insert headlights. I have also sent my FX4 grille to be smoothed and painted gloss black so I can change from time to time. Just some info.
