Hi everybody. I am slowly restoring my bronco and I need to purchase a 1975 new grill. I would think dennis carpenter but also toms bronco has a grill around the same price as well as wild horses etc etc. are these all from the same place or is one better. Just a sidenote, I want the best so let me know. Thank you for your time

Jeff's Bronco Graveyard (JBG) is known to have pretty good quality (made in the US and oem dies) pieces. I haven't yet purchased any of their "body" parts yet and can't give you first hand experience but for the most part I have heard mostly good reviews. I'm in the early stages of restoration so will probably be getting some of my body pieces from them for the most part. Here's a link to their grills and their statement of commitment. Remember you get what you pay for.

Just bought the WH grill. The OEM version and was happy with fit, bodyshop says they can fix the rest of the small creases from the mold. I've been told the remans are narrow by about an inch and a lot of creative fitting of fenders is needed.

JBG grill, I believe it comes from Dennis Carpenter and is made from the original dies. I bought one and the only work I had to do to it was straighten an edge where it was dropped in shipping which was no big deal. Other than that, perfect fit.
