I've always been partial to the 72 crate grille myself.

Re: favorite grill?

My favorite is a 67 GMC grill, followed by the regular GMC ones, and then the 67-68 chevy, the 69-70 and lastly 71-72 style.

Re: favorite grill?

Currently running the 72, but putting the 70 back in. Just my favorite, it also gets my turn signals up out of the bumper. Also the 70's have the black headlight bezels and I am going for more of a blackout look.

Re: favorite grill?

My opinion, the sleek style of the '67-'68 looks best on 2wd & lowered trucks/blazers... I think the '69-'70 & '71-'72 are tough looking and are best on 4wds.
Just build one of each
