75-76 grille brackets
I found a grille for my 76 GMC but have yet to find the brackets to mount it properly. I've been searching for pics of the brackets for it. Does anyone have a pic of the 75-76 grille mounting brackets on the truck? They seem to be a holy grail of sorts. I thought they would be the same as the 73-74 but the mounting points are different. Can anyone help with a pic for me?

Re: 75-76 grille brackets
Holy grail you say? I happen to have a 75 that I will swap a 74 grille on. Maybe I can get a pic tomorrow night.

Re: 75-76 grille brackets
They do seem to be hard to find. I have a 76 GMC grill and I haven't been able to find brackets.

Re: 75-76 grille brackets
First pic shows the depth of the grille and the second shows the mounting points on the raised section of the core support. The bracket would mount to the right of the mounting holes. The 75-6 grille did not use the tabs that mount underneath the headlights.

Re: 75-76 grille brackets
Man a while back there was a 76 that me and a buddy pulled the grill off of. We were gonna go back and get the brackets but someone took the core support

Re: 75-76 grille brackets
I was hoping that the ones you sent me would work but the vertical measurements between mounting points were about 1 1/2 inches off. Now I have 73-4 brackets and 77-8 brackets and just no way to modify them to make them work. Thats why I was hoping to get some pics of the right brackets so I can see how they mount. With the right pics I might be able to fab something close.

Re: 75-76 grille brackets
I can see if there's any 75-76 trucks at my local yard. They get a lot of squares

Re: 75-76 grille brackets
I have the correct center bracket. Can you post a pic of the side brackets for me?
