Grilles

Early Bronco grille options include OEM-style reproduction grilles in the correct factory configuration and aftermarket custom grilles. Tom's Offroad carries reproduction grilles that replicate the original look for period-correct restorations, as well as unique aftermarket designs for custom builds. Grille mounting hardware and trim pieces are also available.

Removing the early Bronco grille involves unbolting screws and clips along the grille perimeter, disconnecting any parking or turn signal wiring routed through the grille opening, and lifting the grille free of the surround. The hood must be fully open for access. It is a pretty straight forward task and Tom's offers new hardware kits that make reassembly easy.

Early Bronco grille design changed over the production run. The 1966–1968 models used a distinct horizontal bar grille with round headlights set into the fenders with smaller turn signals. The 1969–1977 models received larger turn signals, but otherwise the grille remained the same. These two generations are interchangeable, just confirm the year range you desire when ordering a replacement grille.

Yes, but most opt to keep the iconic grille these Broncos are recognized for.

The factory early Bronco grille was typically painted body color on early models or finished in argent silver (light gray metallic) on later trucks. The correct finish depends on the year and trim level. Many restorers paint the grille body color for a clean look, while others go with a contrasting black or argent finish for visual depth. Confirm your truck's original trim code before painting to match factory specifications.
