Tips on replacing 72 GMC grille?

My grille is mashed in and I found a good used one at a swap meet for cheap.
I don't have any kind of diagram for how these go together, but I'm assuming I need to remove the eyebrows first then the main grille assembly.

Anyone have tips or a diagram/sequence?

Thanks

Re: Tips on replacing 72 GMC grille?

The side pieces come off first if they are attached with clips to the fenders.
The bumper needs to be removed, then unbolt the grill from behind, on the inside of the fenders.
There should be bolts on the top and bottom, above and below the headlights.
Also, on the hood latch assembly and the bottom of the center support.
Don't forget to unplug the turn signals. That's my experience, hope it helps!
