Did you grab the grille brackets and hood latch?

Driver4r · 03-10-2013, 12:31 AM

Ive heard that these are worth money if they are in good shape. I have one out of a 74 with a 454 tag. Whats it worth?

I bought mine used because I'm poor, but the market has fallen on the used ones now that they reproduce them. Getting one is as easy as having a phone and a credit card.

The middle brackets appeared to be welded to the core support?
What am I missing??

That doesn't look like a '73-'74 core support...hard to say though.

Here are the brackets:

It is according to the core support decal and door handles.

Almost feel bad.

83GMCK2500 · 03-10-2013, 05:20 PM

Congrats! Glad you found the brackets. Looks like a productive day.

KQQL IT · 03-10-2013, 05:28 PM

Its one of 6 grilles I have. Thats Why I never think about getting the brackets.
Now I need to get the door handles which are 73/74 only.

The inners are welded, and not really needed to retrofit on a 75+.

Even that's high for this area. At the swap meets here, a 20 dollar bill will buy them often.
