a little help? not skoolie related.

[Jolly Roger bus 223]

long story short?
i have a 77 f150 supercab that now needs a full front clip.
i am not finding anything used near me.
new is over 2000$ plus oversize parts shipping.
anything 73-77 will work.
i need almost everything.
grill and headlight buckets are minimal.
inner fenders
outer fenders
hood
bumper with push bars but can budge on that
core support
anyone know of anything?
had one guy out west said he would look through his yard butt never heard back.
i can go rat rod style and am debating if its worth the money for body parts?
i know the tranny and motor are cause i have been through them in the last few years.
if anyone has any leads they can find for used stuff i would me much appreciated.
this is my only link to the rest of the US other than family in texas.

Be a bit of a haul from Texas, but finding anything used for a 70s Ford is gonna be tough.

TN has a lot of these 73-79 F Series around in back fields and yards. You can put on a 78-79 grill and headlight buckets if you get a core support from a 78-79. Everything else is compatible. There's a lot of whole trucks in Middle Tennessee that go for only 1000-1500 because they don't run.
