Tube Grilles
I am not sure if they make one for the split grilles, but I think you can swap the entire front clip for a 78-79, and they do make tube grilles for those years. Just a thought...

Well, I have a broken grill, so I thought I'd upgrade to a nicer style while I'm at it.
Can you put in the later style grills without changing the hood and fenders?

I have seen tube grills available for the split grills (sorry, can't remember where though). It involves cutting the old grill and reusing the area around the headlights.

Just up to '79. I put a '79 grill into my '73, just swap parts and drill a couple holes, easy.
