My '76 Blazer had that grille, but w/o the chrome strips.

Re: what year grill is this

My 75 had that same grill, but the bottom driver side corner was busted off, so I went with a 78 grill to get one that wasn't broken. I still have my original, my bow tie looks nicer than yours and I have the 454 emblem for it also, ought to put the two together and sale it as a NOS...LOL!

Re: what year grill is this

Our '75 had that grille (complete with chrome strips).

We cut the bowtie out and replaced it with a section of grill, so that it had three full length chrome strips.

yes I have a couple of bowties in nicer shape than this but they are just a little smaller . The bow tie looks a lot better with a little silicone on it , . Iwas trying to find out how much an aftermarket one like this is worth by looking in lmc -- classic industries etc. but couldnt find one with the chrome strips. Ithinkm its a pretty nice find & Iwant to be fair on pricing it . Iguess like everything else , its worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it . Iwould definitely use it , but it wont fit my 84. Ithink if you painted the light gray a dark charcoal gray or black , it would look awesome

If you ever decide on a price, let me know, I think the light gray would look better on my truck than the darker grill I have in it now.
