does anybody know the specs or anything on this? My dad wants the truck legal and thats whats really holding me back. Trying to find a grill, and not wanting to buy crap for this one. Anyways, I need it for a 72, is there special clips or anything? The previous owner seemed to think that random screws and coat hangers worked well enough.

edit: found them on LMC. If I make a list of what I think I need, can someone please double check I have the right amount of pieces?

seems like they tell you the amount you need after looking at it a bit closer. but here is what i have to be safe if someone does have a few minutes free time.

Bezel Screw- 8
Outside Bezel Nut- 4
Inside Bezel Nut- 4
Headlight Retainer- 2
Retainer Screw- 6
LH Adjuster- 1
RH adjuster- 1
Adjuster Screw- 2 (40-0958)
Outside Adjuster Assembly- 2
Adjuster Screw- 2 (40-0955)
Rivet- 8
Headlight Spring- 2

The two adjuster screws are different, according to part numbers.

are you lokking at a online catalog. my papaer catalog doesnt show some of this stuff. it kind of looks right but i think you have toomuch stuff i might be wrong. what are inside and outside bezel nuts? are those the plastic thing that hold the screws? if so i think you only need the ones for the bezels. the headlight bucket is held in differently on the 70 grill i have. i dont have my 72 grill here to look at

thats straight from the LMC catalog. for 1970-72. It may be that they have all the 70-72 stuff listed, but you don't need everything for your year. Make sense?

edit: the "bezel nuts" are the plastic things that hold the screw yes. I need light mounting and "headlight door" mounting stuff, sorry if that wasnt clear.

well i was looking at a grill i have and in the lmc 2007 fall catalog. i took some pics. you could be right. i havent looked at a 72 grill close up. this grill is missing the nylon nuts for the outer bezel mount. but the holes are there.

I wish there was a diagram showing this stuff haha. Maybe someone with a 72 will chime in.

I will take some pictures of my grill so yall can check it out and see what all is there.

thats the holes I have in the shell, and the rings have 3 a piece where they mount up with the bucket. Then of course the 4 holes in the headlight door/cover.

ok yea that is the same as what i have here. it hink your list might be complete. the lmc catalog of pg 55 still doesnt show the adjusters though. all my catalog shows is the bezel screws and a few othe clips and screws. for the inserts.

if you leave the old stuff on it i would say
2 headlight adjusters
2 springs
2 headlight bezel nuts with the extenders
3 of those round plastic headlight bucket cusions.
6 headlight ring screws and 8 headlight bezel screws.
