Re: 1970 Grille question.
Here is a thread from 2020 in which member IronCanine illustrates the differences between an OEM 1970 iiner grille and an aftermarket 69/70 one and how he dealt with it on his beautiful 1970 Blazer restoration. His info starts at post #10 of the thread.

Re: 1970 Grille question.
I just rebuilt the grille on my 1970 Blazer using NOS parts such as the parking lamp lenses, hood bumpers, headlamp doors, and outer grille shell. I reused the inner plastic grille, all bracketry, T3 headlamp bulbs, the parking lamp housings, and hood latch. I sourced the grille mounting fasteners from AMK Products.
I used the Molotow large tipped chrome pen for the raised bars, after refinishing the grille with Eastwood under hood black.  The reproduction 3944896 and 9428882 1969-1970 grille retaining fasteners from AMK:  https://www.amkproducts.com/bulk-fas...oduct_ID=15036  https://www.amkproducts.com/search-result/?ser=9428882
