Need help in removing 72 inner grill - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ScottH** · 03-07-2004, 07:49 PM

Can anyone tell me how to remove the inner grill on a 72? I've removed all bolts but the plastic "nuts" they screw into don't want to come out. Also if I should break a couple are they available after market?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Most of the time they will pop out if you use a door panel tool to remove them. The parts are available as a set. I bought a set from Christian's Truck parts but I am sure most every vendor has them.

Jim, thanks for the info. Can u tell me if you pry them from the larger side that the screw head is on, or push from the smaller side?

Thanks.

When I pulled my grill I had to pull them out with pliers.

I pry between the plastic grill and the aluminum shell. Sometimes the can be a pain!
