Re: Outer grille fasteners
I removed the grille yesterday. There were a total of 8 body bolts -- 2 uppers and 2 lowers on each side. And then a few bolts for the hood latch support.
I also loosened 4 bolts securing the fenders to the rad support on each side, to make sure the grille would slide forward easily, without scraping paint on the fenders. I removed the bumper first, which may not have been necessary. But the bumper bolt threads, washers and nuts are very rusty, so I'll replace them. Grille bracket upper and lower bolt locations.
