new front grill

Although I like the 78's grill I like the 77's better so I put one on and I think it looks much better makes her look meaner

I don't have the grill shell but I still can get it,I do have a perfect grill and headlight trim. I'm located in central Iowa and I would sell. I also have extra front marker lights if you need them-Rich

I think you need to drill a few holes, and change out headlight buckets.

You could always put the 78 Custom style round headlight buckets and lights in your grill also. Changes the look just a little bit, and looks cool imo....

The shell bolts right up but you will have to get the right headlight buckets which should be with the grill already. You will have to drill some holes but it's easy, just screw the headlight buckets to the grill install the whole mess and then drill holes.You will also have to change the top corner brackets for the turn signals
