73 Grill with Universal Core Support
« on: March 06, 2018, 03:58:22 PM »
So I have a universal core support that is missing the out side edge grill screw locations. Discussed here: http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=29462.0.
The thread and others like it suggest using the outside brackets, which I have, and the holes on the center of the core support, which i have, but there are no center holes on my grill.  Any thoughts or experience?  Below is a pic i stole from ebay because I dont have a pic of my grill handy.  There are no holes.

Thanks!

Those holes are in the center support bracket, not the core support.

VileZambonie,

Thanks for the quick reply.  The core support I have is missing the brackets for the holes near the corners of the grill.  The center support that you are talking about is what I want to mount to, but there are no screw holes / flanges in my grill for that support.

This is what the support looks like.  I have no holes that match up to the plastic screw inserts.

Post a picture of your actual grille. You should have 6 mounting screw holes in the grille, 73-74 GMC and Chevy end brackets are different. The 73-74 center support is the same.
