What do '71 Grills actually look like?
Hello, I don't have a picture of my truck, but I think the truck has the wrong grill on it. It is a 1971 SportCustom. Can someone who has the same truck (with the proper front grill) just respond here and I will look at your gallery and see what I am suppose to have? I just thought of using the truck to do 5 or 6 small construction jobs when I bought it 2 months ago, but now want to totally restore it. This should give me something to do with my spare time for a few years and hopefully I won't totally destroy something by trying to do it myself, haha. Thanks.

Thanks, I never noticed that picture gallery deal on the right tool bar. Man, there is a bunch of good stuff over there and I will spend some time there now.

Actually, the guy I bought the truck from painted the grill white, so I have to wait until I go home to look at it. Maybe I should post some pictures and then I can look at it when I am online. Thanks guys and I will let you know later which grill it looks like.

No, my grill does not look like your grill. The grill has about twenty little slots in it, must be from some other year than 1971. I will look through the gallery and see what year looks like it.

If the grill you have has 2 plastic panels in it the kink of looks like and egg crate. It proably has 1970 grill insert installed. Not sure if they were used in 71. In 1970 there was 3 diffrent grill set-ups depending on the trim package. This may also be the case for 71. I'm not sure. Any thing older than 1970 had an all metal grill with horizontal bars. Hope this helps. Tony
