If I recall some brackets need moved on the radiator support and of course the headlight buckets I think need to come from a 79 ,,there are some write ups on here that explain it, not extremely hard ,,there may be youtube videos and here is a link

Thanks very much.I usually am a tiny bit purist.I just found a great '73 grille for pennies on the dollar.Can't resist.73-79s will always be my favorite.Out of those I like the split grills the best.P.S. Don't tell on me for putting in a hogged out 72 Lincoln motor in my 79 Super Cab.I'll post pics later.Nice to meet you all.Kurt from the Ozarks.
