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