Will 1970 Grille fit in a 1971 Blazer?

Will the 1970 style stock grille fit in my in 1971 stock blazer without making any modifications? And will the 1970 style stock front bumper fit my blazer?
Thanks,
Gary

It should, however you may need the hood latch of the 70 (I'm not sure on this yet). Welcome to the board from South Mississippi!

Outer bumper brackets are different also, but that's a cheap fix

You'll also have two sets of turn signal/parking lights to you'll need to swap the bumper if you want a stock look.

You may need to get new wire harnesses for the parkinglights, but I'm not sure on that.

Krue is right, you will need a 70 hood latch, and the 70 center grille support. They are different from 70 to 71.
