Hey BB, if you have the same kind as Bob then you have the H-Bar grille. When shopping for an aftermarket it should specify whether or not it fits a 2 or 4 bar grille or the honeycomb grille. I believe that you can buy a new grille that can go "behind" the H-bar (actually it fits in between the H-bars like puzzle pieces from what I can tell from the pics), or I think that you can just totally take your H-Bar set up off as well as the billett grille behind it and just start from scratch.

You can purchase either a "bolt over" where your replacement grille just simply, (duh) bolts over the stock one, or you can get a replacement grille insert where all your stock grille parts come out and you put in a totally new piece (or pieces). Some replacement grille inserts may require some cutting & drilling to fit your truck frame but it should specify this on the sales pages, and from what it seems is relatively easy to install. Good luck & let us know what you end up getting!

Vets, please make any corrections to this post if I have stated anything in error. Thanks!

P.S.
But yeah, like the previous poster suggested, just simply go to Ebay, and type in "billet grill ford f150" and you'll get a few hundred different choices at very good prices.
