I'm pretty sure you can buy a reproduction grille. However, it costs a heck of a lot, definetly out of my price range. Try the catalog at autokrafters.com, they have the parts you need if you don't mind paying a lot.

Go to the Links & Resources page and order/download catalogs from the first seven vendors listed there. You could almost build a truck from scratch these days....for a price.

I know DennisCarpenter.com has the '71-'72 grille shells and inserts, but nobody is reproducing the '67-'69 grilles (yet).
