1971 SWB C10 with a 1970 Grille? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**CMars45000** · 11-08-2020, 10:29 AM

I have a 1971 C10 that has been in my immediate family since it was purchased new. It is very clearly a 1971- VIN says its a 1971, and it has disc brakes.

The odd thing is it has a grille from a 1970.

Was this common- to had carry-over parts from the previous model year? It is a lower optioned Custom Deluxe so I guess it wouldn't surprise me. I am in the process of a frame of resto-mod and even though I am modifying the heck out of it, I want to keep the original look (color, trim, exterior options, etc)

Thanks
