What parts do i need to totally swap grilles and how is availabiility?
I currently have this style grille.  But I purchased the grille pieces for a split style grille  I would assume i still need to track down the surrounding trim and i was told that the headlight buckets are different? Is going to hideaways even more difficult?

Sorry for the late reply. In case you're not aware, the "cobra" style grille that you currently have is worth a decent amount of money, in case you're planning on selling.
Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. But, I just removed a 71 split grille from my car, and have all the hardware, etc, if you need pictures or anything. I'll be installing hide-aways on my car soon.

I didn’t catch the typo til now, and it’s too late to edit—- it should have said ‘WHOLE set-up’.

Come on Dave. You meant food. What were you thinking? Nice steaks and all the fixings?
Hey, how much snow do you have there? What a horrific storm for you all.

Food.... mmmm:)
We got about 10” out of it, strong steady winds, and cold, but that’s about it. We didn’t get the nasty stuff that Buffalo got. We’re ok, and carrying. On.
