Know that cavity/groove where you grab the handle? Doesn't exist on '73/'74 handles. (On the edge facing the body. Exterior looks the same.)

Yes I didn't even realize it was a chrome grille till I got it home.

way ahead of you. i did 2 73-74 swaps, never had an issue with the handles

Does your truck have the inside hood release option?

azjaeger · 03-13-2013, 11:31 PM

interesting about the outside handles. Now I'm bummed, could have grabbed a pair a couple months back on one in a pick n pull I got inside handles, regulators, and vent windows from...oh well.

What would it take to put one of those grills on a '79?
