    Went to a show/swap meet today. Walking through looking at parts and spot a Chrome LDO grille, it was priced at $100 but he would sell for $50, I passed on it. 75 feet away spot a 70 Grabber grille (black plastic) missing part of two tabs but can be repaired. Wind up buying it along with a sport lamp switch and bezel and a driver quality 71-74 standard gas cap for the sum of $20.

    You should have bought the chrome grill.

    The bottom pins were broken and the chrome was pitted.
