More grill questions

I seem to have located a 'new old stock' 73 / 74 grille that might fit my 1975 blazer in terms of size. What I am unaware of is how the mounts would work and what I would need to get it to fit securely. Currently I have an after market grill with it's own mounting brackets so I'd need to get everything to get it on there. What would I need and what should I watch out for??

Re: More grill questions

I think the center support is the main difference and you'll need one from a 73/74.

You just need the center support/hood release from a 73-74 and there are also two outer supports. One on each side, kind of triangular that go in near the headlights.

Re: More grill questions

I think I already have a 73 / 74 center support and release. I changed out the original (assume trip release) as it wasn't working and got a center one from the pick n pull. Does the grill insert actually fasten TO that center post??

Yes, The top and bottom middle of the grill will screw into center support but you will also need the side supports.

Here's the thread I referenced to when I did my first one. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=422411
