Yes, I definitely like the older grill. I can't decide if I like it more than the '78/'79 or not.

and yes american thunder i love the older grilles better that the 78/79 grilles . it goes back to doing thing's differently . i only had to drill 8 holes to mount the older headlight buckets to the 78 radiator core support . i will be going down today to work on her so i will have some more pics soon

That's getting to be a real tough looking bronco man, good job. Let me know how that krylon holds up; my bronco is painted with rustoleum and so far (after about a year) it doesn't even have a scratch in it. I'm gonna strip it after I get the new engine in though and hit it with a legitimate paint job.

But yeah, I can't wait to see that thing when it's done!

Very nice, I too like the the 73-77 grill better than the 78-79. That paint job actually looks pretty good.
