    Are hood latches interchangeable between 76 and 77?

    The handle for the 1976 is offset since the 76 grille has a bar running right up the midline. 77 you just reach right through since there is a grille hole right at the top center.

    1976 C10 Custom Deluxe Stepside Shortbed- First Project

    Were plain grilles ever offered stock?

    My 1976 C10 Custom deluxe has a plain grille, no bowtie. Would it originally have had one? Are all badgeless squarebody grilles aftermarket?
