76 truck to 91 front end?

You will need to swap the wiper system over from the 81 and up since you're now going to have a cowl panel hiding the wiper transmission etc. The old style wiper setup will not work.

You'll be hard pressed to find many users here who think the 88/91 burb clip swap is good for a nice looking round eye truck. You'll have much better luck getting information on how to make it in to a 73/74 front end, which is the king daddy look for a round eye truck. Just my .02.

Whats the diffrence between the 73 and a 76?

This helps somewhat. But to most the 73/74 grille is the best looking out there. For a long time you could not get a reproduction so the old ones sold for gold. Now you can get repops and even repop bowties via top banana who is a vendor here on these boards.

Is the grille an headlight trims the only thing different? Or is there other?

Basic parts for the swap are the center/latch support, grille and the left and right grille support brackets. These parts pop up in the parts section here all the time for very reasonable prices or are available aftermarket. Your headlamp bezels are the same as the 73/74 and will work. The 73/74 had yellow park lamps in front instead of clear like you probably have.

Is a damn fine looking grille.

My front end is like the 75-76 but on my title it says it's a 77?

The pic above is not 100% correct.
