Junkyard. Find a totaled truck that got rear ended. It might still have a good front end. Or, now is your chance to do a little customization.

Junk yard would be your best bet. You can change the style of your front end by putting in a bumper & grill from a compatible year and it would be cheaper. Also shipping will kill you on this. I changed my 98 to this -



Bumper & valance from a 4x4. Grill from an Expedition.

I rear ended some lady in Austin not too long ago, zero damage to me while her Hyundai wasn't as lucky. After 4 deer, 1 owl and a tree (I hit that one on purpose) and the fact that it's Texas, a front replacement bumper makes a whole lot of sense.

You can get a used Ranch Hand for about $300. I'd check the bumper mounts on the frame side of the truck and make sure they aren't bent though. New ones will cost about $600-$700 and that's with either a Ranch Hand or Frontier (Frontier no longer makes them for 10th gen's but you could probably find them used). I have a Del Rio on mine and it has never done me any wrong and those probably cost about $200 used.
