Which Grille???
I have been looking to swap out the grille on my 76 recently, but i cant make up my mind on what grille i should go with. i currently have some aftermarket tube grille on there which i dont like. I don't know if i should go with a 73/74 grille, a 75/76 grille, or a 77-79 grille...Just wanna hear what everyone thinks about these grilles because i like them all and cant decide

Re: Which Grille???
If it was me, I'd go with the original '76 grille with the engine size emblem in it. If you can find it, the optional chrome trim makes the '76 grille look even better.

Re: Which Grille???
I agree with 77gmcjoe ... I'd go with the original 76 grille too.
I believe 72 was the last year for the blue bowtie. 73-up are gold. |

Re: Which Grille???
well i've seen grilles all the way up to 75 with blue bowties, but i wasn't sure if that was factory or if people made them that way.
