86 grille issues, need help+info



Can i get some measurements and take pictures of the mounting tabs for the girlle for anyone that has one out? its got the 85-88 style quad headlights, and i bought a goodmark grille a year ago (ill never get one again, spent hours filing and drilling to get the stock trim to fit, over an eigth off in some places, what you get for 30 bucks) and now i cant get it to go back in. i suspect my right side is still a little low, the headlight bezel barely went in.



Tree fell on it, how it looked before. I straightened the core a little, and got a hood off another truck (same color, got lucky).


So if someone can get me some measurents of A, B, and C. and pictures of mounting tabs D, E, and F.

alright, probably wont get much done tonight. Im gonna try to get my bottle jack and pick up the passenger side again, i was hoping to get it back in there and make it look good. I need to get on it and drop the motor back in. Probably gonna do oil pump and timing chain first.
