Default Sterling Bullet Grille on Ram 1500?

Ok, so this may be a silly question, but i've seen some Sterling Bullet's driving around and i thought the grille would look good on my 08 1500. Would it be as easy as buying a grille (i have no idea where you could get one....) and bolting it on? I see guys doing it on 2500/3500 trucks, but not any 1500s, are the grilles different on the heavy duty?

It works on 1500's. It just works on 06-08 and obviously you have an 08.

Now onto where to order it from... hold on to your horses...... A Ford dealership is like the only place. And they aint cheap. I think they look bad **** on our trucks. I just wish that I had a year that it worked on.

Holy crap i've never seen this before. I like it and I would normally agree with it being stupid saying Sterling on it but I live in "Sterling Heights" Michigan lol!

Whats is Sterling anyways? Are these for Ford trucks but for some reason happen to fit our Dodges?

sterling use to make rigs before they recently went out of business. never a real high end truck company, but they made them never the less. couldnt compete with freightliner and peterbilt. the reason why the grille is for dodge is because if you look on google, sterling produced a truck called the sterling bullet that used a HD ram body and frame, just put theyre on badges on it. i guess ford bought sterling over? and they went under, but you still have to be able to find parts for your sterling, so you can find them at ford, since i believe they bought the company? all of the info on who owns/owned the company, im not sure about, but i think thats how it went down.
