I bought the exact grill you're looking for. I went to my local Ford dealer and bought the billet grill and surround for the 2000 Harley-Davidson truck. It has the Ford blue oval built into the center of the grill.

It was not real expensive although I don't remember the price.

I'll dig up the part # and post it.

The June 2001 issue of Truckin' magazine has a picture article on how to install a billet grille. Per the article, you have to remove the side marker lights, then remove the grille surround. Afterwards, remove the stock grille, install the aftermarket and then put everything back together.

EXCURS10N,
I have a Stull Billet grille on my F150. If you follow this link you will find info on the grilles for your truck as well.
I took the logo off my old grille and moved it to the billet grille.

Cool

Thanks Can-SCrew - how does the emblem de-tach, then attach to the new grill? Glue? Or does it bolt - does the stull come with the neccesary things to get the ford emblem back on to the billet grill? thanks a million!!

The logo came off the old grille with 2 tin nuts. Use a wrench to take them off. When I put it on the new grille the 2 plastic studs on the logo are to short to put the nuts back on but I turned the nuts upside down and you can now twist them back onto the 2 studs. you will not be able to tighten them with a wrench now but I used a pair of needle nose pliers. Someone else in this forum said they did the same thing and then applied a dab of glue over the studs so the nuts won't come off. The grille comes with no hardware to put the logo back on but you can order them including lighted logos if you wish.
