Putting a 72 grill on a 69, How hard is that?

So yeah, how hard of a swap is that? I'm not figuring it to be too bad. I know I will need a new bumper to put the front ambers in to get it too look right,but are there any major issues I need to know about?

About 20 min of your time and then you will have a much nicer looking truck

Just remember unless you swap bumpers, you'll need to rig up turnsignals/park lights since the 69 had them in the grill and the 72 didn't.

Make sure you change the grill center support and hood lelease with it. They are not the same.
