Default Keeping bugs out of the rad's

Anyone able to recommend a good bug screen to keep the pesky little fellers out of the rad ?

I don't think I've ever seen one available for our trucks. With the size of the radiator though, you could probably use an old window screen.

Well that's because the fords are so sissy like a simple mosquito on the radiator would cause the engine to overheat and set the exhaust on fire lol.

When I replaced the windows with Vinyl, I kept one of the screens and cut it down to fit the front.
It covers the whole radiator and works great.
If it gets damaged, I got more screen.

Dude I can't believe thatI can't find one.

You want chicks, beer, firetrucks, you name it, I can usually find it, but that whole bug screen on a Dodge simply either doesn't exist or they're not popular. I dunno.

Sorry ...
