LMC truck will have what you want, but it'll be EXPENSIVE. Check eBay. They'll be a LOT cheaper for the same stuff...OEM or aftermarket.

by far best grill for 82-88 ranger is called phantom grille. I'm so close to changing my 90 front end over, just to use this grille. airbagit.com has the grille. below is a pic of one
