Need Valance, Bumper, and Grille
I have a '97 Lariat, 5.4L and I need a new grille, valance, and bumper. I have searched around a couple parts stores but the shipping ends up being more than the products themselves. I have also checked around craigslist but nothing really helpful. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I am in the DC area (Bowie, MD to be specific)

Keep looking on CL
Keep looking on Craigslist's auto parts section. You will eventually find someone parting out their truck. I needed a hood, fender, and bumper (with valence, brackets, braces, and trim). After checking CL ads for a couple of weeks I came across 2 ads parting out F-150's. I got a hood and fender for $100 from one guy and bought the entire bumper assembly from another for $75. I called many junkyards in my area and they were asking $425 for the same 3 parts.
