Title: Grille year ID
Post by: bennydog on June 28, 2017, 06:21:23 pm

I just bought 5  73-79 grilles today... I have a 1975 C-10 I know the 3 in the middle are 73-74... Is the one on the Left the correct 75 grille?  Thanks!

Good question, inside hood lock started when?

Looks like 77 started the inside lock and could also be outside.

75-76 outside lock.

Looks like the 75-76 handle is offset from center not requiring the cut out. Notice the center support is also cut out on the side for the release on the chevy but I have never owned those years to say for sure. That would explain the grille.
