PLASTIC PINS IN GRILLE?
On the Grille Shell, there are 3 plastic inserts or pins in the headlight areas. They are located behind the headlight buckets. First, what is their function? Second, does anyone sell replacements. I can't find them shown anywhere, they don't even show in the MPAC? The grille is 71 F250.

There are 4 "Pin" style inserts that attach the chrome headlight door to the Grille.

Since you mentioned there are only 3 behind the bucket, I'm wondering if these headlight adjustment screw clips are what you're referring too instead.

Re: PLASTIC PINS IN GRILLE?
Those are not the parts. They look like smooth round buttons that come with the grille shell. In the following link you see them faintly when you select the headlight photo. They are located around the headlight cutout. I need to learn how to post photos & links. A friend of mine told me when you adjust the headlamps these allow the bucket to pivot easier and stay stationary.

I wonder if these are what you're looking for in this hardware kit.

Re: PLASTIC PINS IN GRILLE?
In order to post photos in a post you'll need to load them into a photo sharing website. I use Flickr but there are several others.
Once you've uploaded them to an online server you will need the direct link to the photo. Once you have the direct link, you just need to add a short code before and after the link. I hope that makes sense.
There is an explanation here.
