The valance, for lights, and brackets are factory ford peices. I had to piece all those up since truck I bought few years back was missing all those. LMC has all the parts in there catalog, or can try NLOC.

Great project! I've always wanted to do a '69 Lightning like Ford would have made had they made it.

The valance is on PG 72 bottom right. But the lights on the right arent the stock lightning set-up. Looked through online catalog and dont see the stock L set-up. I have an older book and will look through it and see if there in it and get parts numbers

Drilled out the rivets on the stock 150 valance. And used short nut/bolt combo too install lightning valance. Used a dab of blue loc-tight on them to keep them from loosening. Did it that way since I plan on changing bumper. Looking for the bump with the center cooling holes.

Ok for sure..so the valance already has the holes pre drilled so I would just mark the bumper to the valance then drill the bumper and hold it in place right?

The valance I got had the holes, OEM lightning. Not sure if the one from LMC is, but I would think it is.

Couple picture of finished install,,,
