70 grill vs 71/72 grill

I see that the grill shell for '70 F100s is a different part number than for 71/72 in Dennis Carpenter and NPD, and are generally more expensive. What is the difference? Will my '72 grill inserts install in a 70 grill shell?


Thanks

no, the 71 and 72 grills have different mounting points than the 70. but the grill shell off the 72 is a direct bolt on if you want to swap the whole thing.

The grills for the 71 and 72 are not the same. They may mount the same but the 71 has 2 vertical bars and the 72 has one.

i mean the 71 and 72 grill shells are the same, the grills themselves are slightly different as qman pointed out. the grill shell of the 71-72 will interchange with the 70 and you can use which ever grill of the 2 you prefer.
