Will a 1973 GMC grille fit directly into a 1975 GMC
To day on the way to taking my daughter to school I hit a bird and it broke my grill. I think I'd like to replace it with a 1973 to 1974 GMC style. Is this a direct replacement? If not, what all does it take? And does anyone know where the best place to find one?

You need the 73-74 style grille mounting brackets. Everything else should interchange.

No, but you can do it with a little bit of work. Here hopefully this helps

I am getting information from other sources that a 1973 grill will fit directly into a 75 GMC. They are saying GMC is different from Chevrolet in that you can swap them without changing brackets. Can anyone here confirm?

You don’t need to change the brackets. The 75/76 GMC trucks use the older style brackets that were on the 73/74 trucks. If you have the opportunity to look, you’ll see that the 75/76 GMC grille is just as deep as the 73/74 Chevy & GMC grille whereas the 75/76 Chevy grille is quite a bit shallower and thus needed redesigned brackets to accommodate.

73-74 GMC grille has different brackets and are unique to the GMC. The Chevrolet brackets are not the same. The latch and support must also match the grille. Here's a link to the 73-74 GMC brackets http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/sm...3952#msg243952

I'll have to pull my grille out and look to see how my brackets are. I have a 75-76 front on my 78. It's a GMC with an external hood release. I'm curious now. I personally prefer the 75-76 grille, but I will look and compare to the pics, and post what the brackets are.
