'69-'72 GMC Grille Question
So, I've tried looking already, but I can't find a thread showing me how. Can someone please explain/show me how to take the top chrome bar off a 69-72 GMC grille? Any help is appreciated!

Re: '69-'72 GMC Grille Question
Me too. I have to remove/separate the top bar to have it re-plated. Any help appreciated.

Re: '69-'72 GMC Grille Question
Let me look at mine. I replaced the top piece on mine and used my original grille.

Re: '69-'72 GMC Grille Question
You have to drill out all the little rivets. Use nuts and bolts to put it back on.

Re: '69-'72 GMC Grille Question
Does anybody know whether you can access all the attachment bolts without removing the bumper?

I removed the grille to get access to, I think, the top bumper bolts that were rusted on. I was adding bumper guards.

Re: '69-'72 GMC Grille Question
Thanks davem815 for such great help. I gotta get on this one, so I'm gonna start by getting out my trusty PB Blaster, and give all the bolts/nuts a good soak.
