69-72 Grille - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know if the 1969-70 grilles can be put into a 1972? Also...what parking lamp lens assemblies do you use for the 70 grille? I can't find any place that has them. Thank you all.

It is for a chevy.

Yes they can be swapped, I know the parklamp assembly's are availbile from LMC, but some of the board vendors may have them too

rstucken · 11-16-2006, 02:32 AM

The only ones that are available from LMC are those for 67-68 and 71-72. That is the same for everywhere...LMC, Pauls, Classic Ind, etc. Do you think that the 67-68 housings will work, but need a 69-70 lens? Thank you

No you will need 69-70 housings. Just look on the parts board or the junk yard for a 69-70 park lights and get them there. You will also need to swap the latch support brace from a 69-70, these are avaliable new. You might be able to use your existing hood latch, but there is a different one for 69-70. It has to do with the release handle. Not sure if a 71-72 handle will be ok with the 69-70 grill. I hope this helps.

Pulled from LMC truck, pg 139......

EDIT: And now I realize, this is just the lense and gasket. You're looking for the housing/case. got'cha now. Now I understand.

Have you tried Athey's Truck Parts? He is a site vendor. He seems to find the hard to find stuff.

Hey, I've got a couple I'll sent to you for free if you pay shipping. I believe they are all there (took them off when I installed a billet grill)

I can send pics of them tonight if you want.

Let me know your address and I'll let you know how much shipping will be.

Here's the pics. The housings have been painted black and the lenses are crap. The wires at the back are cut short but that shouldn't be a problem. I will check shipping costs at lunch.
