73-74 grill bracket help
 
Hello everyone,
I have a 77 and was wondering if there's anyplace that makes the brackets for the grill on the core support to fit the[73-74] grill??

I scored a very nice GMC grill but it's the older kind that sits deeper.
I really want this one to work so I'm hoping someone knows a place that reproduces them.
Am I correct in thinking all I need is the 1 center bar and the 2 outer uprights.
Is there any other pieces I need if I am lucky enough to find a donor??
Has anyone adapted the 75-on brackets to work??
Thanks

Short answer for you on who reproduces them for 73-74, no one. You have to find them in a salvage yard.

That's an awesome link. Even has the correct years in it. What are the odds of that?
Well I didnt know about the headlight brackets,learn something new everyday.
I live in the rust belt so finding a 73-74 has come up short.
Guess I gotta keep an eye on eBay for alittle while,if no luck I guess I'm gonna have to make a trip to the steel yard and get to some customization because I really want that grill installed.
Thanks
