If your truck looks like a 2003 it will work, but if it's the NBS 2004 it will not.

NBS = New body style.

A 2004 heritage looks like the 97-03's.

Yeah, if your grille is part of the hood, then you are correct. It is not a Heritage truck.

I found one on eBay with a torn cover for $16.00. It is a factory workshop manual and would be a steal for that price even if the cover is ripped. It is not a Heritage. Standard 2004 F150 NSB.
