Re: '70 grill or '71
I like the 69/70 grill better.
How about doing what I did. I wanted driving lights. (They came out with the re-pop, driving light integrated bumpers after I started acquiring parts). I put a 71/72 bumper on my 70 look-alike truck. You'll need the 71/72, 4x4 front bumper brackets. I THINK the 71/72 front brackets will work with the older style (no turn signals) bumpers. If you find a set of those you can change your mind later.

The switch gets power from a "on when key on" spot in the factory fuse panel. That wire goes to a relay under the hood. The relay then supplies 12 Volts directly from the battery to the lights. I mounted the driving lights in a set of 71/72 blinker assemblies that had light sockets that were corroded beyond usefullness for what they were intended. I removed the bad sockets and mounted the Wal*Mart driving lights to the lensless, bulb socketless stock assemblies. If I ever find a driving light that fills the hole in the bumper better I'll be swapping them in.
