Chrome 69 grille pics
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.

Re: Chrome 69 grille pics
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.

Re: Chrome 69 grille pics
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! . Do you have any available?
