Keep the updates coming.

That outer grille is painted as per the 71 model year - very nice piece for someone with a 71. The 72 outer grilles lack that outer paint band and all the NOS replacement grilles I've seen lack this as well (which is to say they are correct for the 72 MY). I'm wondering if the front clip was swapped from a 71 pickup given what you've observes with the fenders.
