Question 63 to 66 grill swap, what do I need?

I am going to be putting on a 63 grill on my 66. For those that have done this swap, what am I going to need? I imagine I am going to have to get a hold of a 63 headlamp plate, but do I have to also get a grill support for it? Or will a 66 grill support work?

One more, does anybody know where I can get a pair of 63 headlamp plates?

Thanks,

Chris

I used a 64-66 grill support on my 63. One bolt on each side does not line up.

So you created your own hole? What backing plate did you use?
