Don't know how GM sold it to your family, But....They couldn't put a later model grill (before even building it) into a 73/74 truck.

This IS a nos 73/74 grill without a doubt.....

You also have clear turn signals. It could be a very early production 75 that was titled as a 74.

I know gm raritys, we have a ton, including a 56 chevy bus with a v8 that chevy said they didnt make (didnt "start" v8 buses till 57) but our vin code states a 56 v8 bus, as well as a 68 c40 tilt cab that they say never made production.

the clear's are LMC, but yes, a early 75 titled as a 74 is more practical...

more practical than aliens changing grills back in time.

heres another stumpper for you "milestone foot steps of chevy makes"... mine dose not have the header tube pick up for smog, instead it was collector.
It also has the impossible to find no ac dash bezel, /w/ "cigarette box holder"


bigons be bigons, records of what year came with what is always in-accurate. (just ask kragen)
Im telling you how we bought it off the lot. Unless the boys in the back of the dealership got bored and decided to make a Frankenstein to screw with people years down the line, chevy did what they want, when they want.

sorry to hi-jack hahaha
