69,70 Grill on a 71?

Im not sure, but I've thought about doing a swap since Im gonna need to replace my old grill. I thought that the 69-70 Grill might look better. According to some of the catologs i have, some parts are interchangable, hardware, headlight bezels, etc. What say you?

You can do it...only difference is that the turn signals on 69-70 trucks are in the grill. On a 71-72, they are in the bumper.

You'll need the '69-'70 grill support as well.
