I have a 5.0 truck which has the lower grille fully blocked off. Do y’all know where I could buy the one from a 3.5 eco truck?

Do y’all think I could just order that piece and replace what I currently have?

It is the lower grille for eco boost trucks and truck with block heaters.

It all unbolts/ unclips. The solid infill and open slots have the same fittings so are interchangeable

Did you successfully do the swap? If so do you have to take the bumper off? Thanks

I have the snowplow prep on my 5.0 and I have just a big hole less where the license plate bracket is mounted.

Does your front bumper have a solid plate because your vehicle is equipped with the active air dam that snow plow prep vehicles do not come with?

Guessing maybe it plays a role in the efficiency it’s supposed to create?

Snow plow and block heater trucks get the ones with openings. I’m trying to move my plate to one side and make room for led pods or a light bar!

Took my bumper apart for other reasons. Did not do swap but the solid infill panel is identical fittings. Can be done with bumper in place. The small plastic panels either side will need taking off first and then the center. Easier and less chance of damage to paintwork if can be pushed from pinching clips with pliers from behind. 7 clips 3 either side as in picture and one centre bottom. Alternatively with decent quality panel removal tool (can be done with screwdriver but more likely to damage paint/plastic) between bumper and panels from outside.

Update: Slightly more involved as have to remove the 4 white plastic clips that attach the bottom valance to the front, once these have been removed the full front plastic part can be unclipped by pulling forward together with center section. The center plastic will then unclip and can be r replaced with solid infill. All easier done with bumper removed, but can be done in situ accessing clips on V8 from underneath. Not sure if access is compromised with the intercooler on other engines.
