Since I'm in the process of ordering parts for converting my -71 into a -70....
Will I need this part at all or can I adapt the part on my -71
....sorry for interfering...I hope you find a seller...
Well I really don't know as I have a 71. I don't have the grille or any of the front components except for the radiator support I am wondering myself. I was looking for a hood latch support bracket when I found this. I anticipated that I needed just the grille/hl bezels, and the hood latch support and top plate and it would be complete. It looks like I need this piece too. Which appears troublesome as that is the only one I have ever seen for sale.
Would you mind taking some pictures of the hood latch support area on your 71? I really have no idea what it even looks like to begin to source parts myself lol. At least knowing what goes there would help me know what I need to look for to buy.
On an aside I did this this guy

So I am wondering if maybe the 70's didn't have it, while the 71's did because of the different shaped grille?
