How about a new Grill?

[Pushrod226]

I've been thrashing away at my stepside lately fixin it up and adding weight back to it where rust once was and poly where rubber once was. I've come to a problem with my grill. I have a 73-74 chevy grill and a 75-76 front-end. As some of you may know it doesn't easily go in without the correct mounts.

I've been thinkin about gettin one of those new billit grills from LMC but I don't think I'll be able to open my hood once installed. Would I have to setup my front-end with the pull cable hood release? Will I be able to open my hood (I don't think so) with the old lift-latch thats on there now?

If the cable setup is required, I have all the parts but the cable and the part that bolts to the hood. If its needed where can I find the part that bolts to the hood? I don't think LMC offers it...
