Grille assembly
I'm trying to assemble my inner and outer grille for my 69. It's been a while and I guess I should have taken pictures. I will post a picture of what I thought was a grille assembly kit that I bought a while back, hopefully someone can tell me if this is suppose to work.

Re: Grille assembly
brothers trucks on YouTube has a great video on how to use pliers with a nut taped to push those white clips in.

Re: Grille assembly
Grumpy, On the first page is the screw and clip, here is a picture of my 69 grille, round holes (I have 3 grilles all alike) also a shot to inner grille with square holes. Were all the originals made with round holes and repo's made with square holes?

Re: Grille assembly
Why not just turn the round holes into rectangular holes
