Grills and what year ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So like some of you my blazer is far from original to the point of actually being the body of one and the frame of another.

The funny thing is that while titled a 71 blazer the body is a 72 gmc. Now that part is normal, the title stays with the chaise. What is interesting is that when done they must have swapped some body parts like the grill (and badges) as well.

So this is the grill on mine, but looking around here I see many different versions. What year would this have been stock on? Also for fun go ahead and post up some other grills with info on year and truck type, you know for my edification.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt FYI the location of the rear view mirror would tell also what year. 72 was on the glass 71 on the frame
