1970-72 had the same basic grille, only different INSERTS. Just unscrew the plastic insert and install the others. The 1970 had a fine egg crate design, the '71 had 9 blocks and the '72 had 4 blocks(if I recall correctly-pretty close though).

I needed to change out the grille on my 70 f250. Unknowingly I bought a 72 grille which looked the same but when I went to install my 70 inserts they wouldn't attach. I ended up with the 72 inserts. If I'm not mistaken the 71-72 inserts slant backwards from the top down.

Finally found one on the internet Junk yard search. Claims the grille shell and inserts are in good condition. Cost $225.00. Pretty costly. I'm presently detailing it for a paint job. I should be able to shoot it in 2 weeks. Then put back all the bumpers, door handles, ect: Going back original wimbelton white. Thanks all. Jim TN
