Hi Nova dudes!

I want to convert my 73 grille to a 68-72 grille. What is the difference between the 68-69 and the 70-72? It is a direct bolt on? What are all the parts I need for the full conversion?

thanks,
wes

hi wes.
i cant tell ya if it's a direct bolt or not but i can say that there is some differance around the headlight area and bezels!
if you go to my link below and you can see the 70 nova grill.

Your hood needs the chrome piece added. I'm not sure if you can just modify yours or if you will need a new one. If memory serves me right the front fenders are the same. The big difference is the bumper and I don't know if your subframe has the mounting holes. If it does then all you should need for that is the supports, bumper, and turn signal lights. As for the rest of the grille I think it should just bolt up, but the bumper is going to make the biggest difference.

The fenders will work. You will need to pull the fender extensions and other pieces off around the headlights. You will need the 68 - 72 headlight bezels and eyebrows. You will also have to drill one hole out for the 68 - 72 eyebrows on your 73 fenders, you'll see when you get to that point. No big deal.

I had a 74 and it seemed to me the the hood latch was different than on my 70.

Thanks for all of your help.

I am going with the 68-72 front bumper and f/g lift off hood also
