Re: grill question
There is another thread on hear about the high priced grills. I think the 75-76 grill will fit your 78 but you need additional brackets

Re: grill question
I think you are correct. For the 73-74 grille swap on my 78, it required the hood release bracket and two outer wing brackets.
But for the 75-76 grille I think it is a direct swap, unless you have the upgraded model with the interior hood release.

Re: grill question
Are you looking for the hood release with the offset lever? I might have one of those.

Re: grill question
Right about the inside hood release type. The '75-'76 grille won't clear the hood latch setup.
