I found a 1961 F-100 Grille on Craigslist that I just had to have, two days after I bought a 1965 Custom Cab with a 352 FE and 3-speed O.D transmission. The 65 grille is, well, not in great shape, so when I saw the 61 grille I bought it, NOT knowing the headlight buckets are a 1-year only part, like a bucket inside another bucket. I can't find the inner bucket that mounts to the grille anywhere. Anyone know where I can get these? Will Econoline buckets fit the '61 grille?

I have searched the forum and also FTE and could not find anything this specific. My '61 chrome grill has the odd-shaped holes and no stand-offs for mounting the headlight adjuster buckets like the later grills. I will call Tom. Thanks.
