Grille interchange

Will the 73-74 grille fit my 80? I think I actually have a 78 grille on it now. It seems like a big task to get a bowtie emblem to fit my current grille and the aftermarket 73-74 already has one. I should've thought about this before I sold my NOS grille.

Re: Grille interchange

Thanks guys! That first link had me convinced to scrap the idea and try to find a very nice 79/80 grille but the second link makes me think it's not that bad. I just need to find those few parts. I already have the external hood release.
