I did, but I sold it pretty cheap...I knew what you were up to.

I live in Minnesota. I really don't need a grill, so if you wanted to send it to me, pay for shipping both ways...I'll install it, take pics and give feedback...and send it back.

If it fits nice and you decide to sell them, I'll put a plug on 73-87.com for you.

I think it is neat you are trying to reproduce these.

Re: getting closer

Nope, in addition...you will also need the 73/74 center support, latch, and outside mounting brackets.

yes- it was cheap Jeff; and thank you. I am going to give it a few more days here to see if I can find a truck. There's several '75-'76 at the "Pick and Save" but no '73-'74....so it may end up coming your way
