If memory serves me correct, the plastic clips for the grille attach screws are unique to the '73-74 grilles. I found some NOS ones on ebay. The '73-74 grille is my favorite of all the 73-87 styles.

N2Trux: In the areas you circled, the brackets adjacent to the headlights are bolted to the core support, and the ones close to the radiator opening are part of the support structure that comes directly up from the core support mounts. I just looked at my spare '73 core support, and I'm almost certain that the 73-74 core supports are different from the later years
