Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
You may know this already, but they are welded to the core support. If these are to retrofit a 73/74 grill to a 75-80, they aren't needed to be honest, the center support and outer supports do the job just fine.

I've got a set of bolt in here and I'm trying to figure out exactly what they go to. They look like the ones in the photo and fit the 73-74 grille so I'm baffled.

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
Haven't seen any bolt in ones. My 73 has them factory spot welded. Perhaps 74 is different and they were bolted??

Has anyone used the generic aftermarket "73-80" radiator support?

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
I went out and looked at the two 73's and the one 74 I have, those are both "part of the support" on all 3. They are not a bolt on thing as mentioned.

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
agreed- the illustrated parts book does show bolt on supports for the 73-74 GMC. Does anyone have one apart by chance?

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
Yes GM used a service part for them for 73-74 grilles and I picked one up a while back and it showed in the engineering diagram to screw them on to the radiator support. I can't put my hands on it right now as its in another location. There were two brackets and and maybe hardware in that GM box.

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
I pulled those same bolt on brackets from a 74 Jimmy, yet the 73 Blazer and the 73 truck had the welded ones.

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
I have removed multiple sets of these and have never seen any that were welded on.

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
there are definately bolt in ones which, I think, were used in service parts for all '73-'74 Chevrolets and all '73-'78 GMCs.

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
the grille screw holes on a chev and a gmc are different locations... further outboard on the 73 74 chevy than a 75// I tried using a 75-75 GMC set on my 77 jimmy... the recess was correct for them andf the center did work but the outer locations werent....

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
correct- the 73-74 Chevy are closer to the center (horizontally) and also a couple inches closer together (vertically). According to the parts book back in 70's the 73-74 Chevy would also fit the GMC through '78. The '75 Chevy mounts are closer to the fenders and on the outside edges of the grille as opposed to being in the openings in the grille

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
I have numerous sets of the bolt on ones that came from a 73 or 74 with the sunken grill!

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
Here's a pic of the ones I pulled from a 74, but they look different than your pic. Maybe someone can chime in to verify.

Re: WTB 73-74 inner grille supports
big10charlie - I could still use some of the bolt in ones. Let me know what you have.
There should be one more piece to go with the piece in the bottom of this picture
