Will 70 GS grille fit on my 72 skylark?

My 72 Lark Grille is somewhat busted, i picked up a 70 GS grille thinking that since most of the 70-72 stuff will interchange in general i could make it work. has anyone done enough grilles to know? mainly im worried about mounting it.

 

You will need 70 headlight doors and a 70 hood lip molding. I do not think that you would need a 70 bumper. You may need the trim piece that attaches to the 70 grille.

 

71 would fit better,but your best bet is to sell the 70 grille and buy a 72,you should make some money on the deal,as the 70's grilles are supposed to be worth more,just because there's more demand for them.Bruno.

 

Thanks for the info. i guess i will be continuing the search. and trying to find this grille a new home.

 

New Info. turns out my 70 Grille Is actually a 71 GS grille. thats better right? can someone tell me exactly what i would need to mod to make the 71 grille work

 

You'll also need the correct grille studs.

You definitely need a hood lip molding. A 72 molding will break a 71 grille.

 

Also,
And this is VERY important. You need the studs off a 71 GS grill only. If you try to use studs off a 71 skylark grill then they will go so far in and then crack the grill.

The 71 GS grill studs are a smaller diameter then the 71 Skylark grill studs.

Smaller than 72.

 

Could use JB weld. Then when gets hard will screw out nicely. Or not.

 

Just purchased 1970 skylark custom convertible and I believe has 71 front bumper / grille. I would like to go back to original any advice ?

 

Looks to have a 72 hood, headlight doors with a 71 skylark grille and bumper.
