Questions on 72 GMC grille and chrome

[McDeezl]

Getting all of the rest of the front end and chrome to line up.
We'll start with the rad support mounts ... the frame is a '68 but rest of it is a '72 so when I originally mounted the support I used '72 parts and discovered that it leaves it sitting higher than it should. Swapped out the mount kit for the proper '68 and it dropped the rad support a bit but not as much as I had hoped. Some photos that help explain the difference and why you have to use the rad support kit that matches the frame year and not necessarily the year of the rest of it.
The main effect is lowering the light buckets with respect to the grille which improved things quite a bit but still have a ways to go on the left side ... next post on that with photos below.
