grille differences

Hi, I have owned and driven a 75 for a few years.
On saturday I bought a 78 at auction, but I really like the 76 grille, since I have a 76 grille in stock I'm planning on switching it with my 78 grille. Just wondering if anything won't bolt up quite right, how about the headlights?

Thanks

i thik it's a pretty straightforward swap. the headlights use the same harness so just swap everything over including the round headlights and you should be golden..

Everything will fit fine, but you will need to drill holes for the headlight mounting bolts. Not a big deal, just measure it out - or install the grills and center the lights in the grill.

There is more to it than "The Grille"

There is the grille surround,or you will have 2 sets of turn signals.

the round headlight mounts ,round headlight buckets.
