Re: !966 GMC Grille assembly diagrams?

Thanks so much for the response, guys.

I just pb blasted the mounting screws, boy are they rusty- looks like the grill has been mashed in a bit too- the mounting tabs seem bent where the headlight mounting panels and grill stretcher bar rivet together

Looks like I have all of the parts I'll need save the little plastic mounted adjuster screws and 1 bezel. Will be ordering those directly. (thanks for the parts store links- my local napa doesn't carry much for these trucks anymore)

I noticed as I was removing the lights that one of the "mounting panels" seems inverted.
the springs and "cutout" are on top on the left side of the truck and on the bottom on the right side.

They are both stamped "LH" but they look like they will both attach in the same orientation e.g. both sets of springs and cutouts up, or both down- the mounting holes seem the same on either side of the panel.

Which is the proper way?

Pics to illustrate what I'm asking:





(sorry for the quality of the images- my phone is all I have at the moment.

again- thanks for your help. I truly appreciate it.
