'79 with a stull grille

[fatherdoug]

Last weekend, I found a '79 F-250(black ) down on the "rez" with a near perfect Stull grille. I have always liked the looks of the stull grille. The guy won't separate the grille from the rest of the truck, or, he wants $500 for the grille. The truck has been sitting for at least 20 years in tall grass(read mouse heaven - chewed wires, etc.) He wants $5000 for the truck - Ain't gonna happen.

I'll try again later........

I'm not sure what that is, or not by that name at least. Enlighten me please.

I remember the name....can't recall the look.

It was the round aluminum bars that went all the way across the grille.

I couldn't find a picture of a gen 6 truck but here is a link of a gen 7 with a stull grille.

That's what I thought....nice

 

[fatherdoug]

I'll wait until later in the month, when he needs the money.

Not quite worth $500

That would be cool though.

I think they use a different currency down there.

That's what I call a billet grille. I have one here that I'd sell that will fit a 78-79

Just remember the access Doug....I recall it being a PITA to open the hood without a cable release.

 

[fatherdoug]

Oh, thank you, Duncan. I forgot about that. Mine has a cable release, but I still need to get at the safety catch, or whatever the hell it's called.

 

[DNFXDLI]

If you have the cable, you should be ok...it's the issue of getting your hand in there. Once you have popped it with the cable there isn't an issue.

 

[fatherdoug]

I have small hands anyway, or that's what my wife says.......... "More than two hands is a waist"?

 

[DNFXDLI]

Something like that

I have a billet grille in my 78 Ranger Lariat, and I don't have a cable release for my hood and i don't find it to be a PITA, but I have little fish hook or shepherd's cane to reach in and grab and pull the handle to open the hood, it's a great way to keep people from messing with or stealing stuff from under the hood, great security device, but it stumps a mechanic or two every now and then
