went out to pick and pull and theres a clean grill off of a van. A gmc one since im in middle of gathering all the parts to put gmc back on the truck since it relly is one. Would the grill fit??

the 78 van grille will fit 75-79 trucks.

Are you 100% sure on that? Never seen it done, or even talked about.

My neighbor had one on his 77 off a van. it looked correct. I checked some part numbers way back and found the aftermarket grilles for vans and trucks show the same part numbers as well as some GM numbers that cross over.

well that didnt go good at all. The gmc grill was gone, all the 73 or 74 grills all had way to many flaws and little cracks on them, and forgot my adjustable wrench to get the clean 73 steering wheel.. to hot to go back
