Chrome 69 grille pics

Post by 69FLATBED »

Does anyone have a pic of their 69 grill they have chromed? I am doing a restoration and I have a pretty decent steel one I'm thinking of chroming. I'm just wondering what it will look like with the red Ranger stripe and emblem.

To my knowledge, the 69 Ranger was offered in aluminum only. I've chromed a few steel grilles but I never found a steel one with Ranger headlight bezels.
If they do exist, I would chrome one and do the correct paint to it.
If you have one that is a correct Ranger grille headlight bezels and all, post a picture of it.
I've reconditioned over 400 grilles and have never ran across a steel Ranger grille.
I've seen the steel grille which was drilled for the emblem (not original) and poorly drilled. this was done by someone other than ford.
I have yet to see steel headlight doors/bezels that are true Ranger's.

Sorry I may have posted that wrong chicof100, that was my idea too to take a steel grille and paint the red stripe and headlight doors on it. I remember seeing one in a pic that someone had chromed. I wasn't thinking that there was ever a chrome one offered. I've drooled over your grills for years thinking that I would never do that extensive of a restoration to need one... Well, Now I do! lol. Do you have any available?
