1970 K10 Suburban Different Front Grille

I picked up a new burban today. I know as it is a 1970 K10 Suburban but the front grille and headlights seem different. Can someone identify if it is another version or nit the original one.

I am not an expert, but looks like a Dodge or Ford grill. SpecialK,TooMuchStuff, or Vectorit can answer you expertly!

Thats pretty interesting, in a dead animal alongside the road, when your eight years old, kind of way. You should show us more of how it fits in the sheet metal.

84 Dodge pickup grille and those rear wheels don't look quite right either, looks too narrow in the rear end. Well, it's different, I'll give it that!

What about the rear bumper as well? Is it just me or do I see a three piece rear bumper?
