Grills interchangeable? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi... still trying to sort out my build and was hoping someone might confirm what year grills can be interchangeable to others.

I know 67 and 68's are interchangeable but what about 69 thru 72?

There's a nice 'custom 71-72 grill' I was considering for my 69. As far as I can see, fenders, rad support, hood etc are common from 69 thru 72, so why not the grills?

Thanks!!

if the grille has the correct supports, it will retrofit without any issue.

I think the hood latches are different and you would need a 71-72 bumper with the turn signals.You would also end up with two bowties one on the hood and one on the grill.Other wise they

Thanks Guys, I'll be sure to check the hood latches and was planning to put the turn signals behind the grill (assuming its 'legal' in my area)
