Default 1972 Lower Grill Molding

It is the piece of chrome that extends down on the side of the parking light and across the bottom of the Left and Right Grill areas.

Been looking for a PN and found them for a 1968-1969 both at Ecklers and The Last Detail, but nothing for a 1972. Any ideas?

On 70-72, this chrome is part of the grill. It is not an individual piece. Also, 70 where slighthly different than the 71-72 in the way they mount, and '72 don't hane the fiberoptic holes.

The grills are readily available from places like CC, Paragon, ...

I see what you mean. Those are $300 pieces. Looks like I can just unscrew the molding from the grille housing and send the molding out for plating.

See any problems with that?

The left and right parking light housings are 1 piece. Chrome boarder and painted grill. Don't know if a chrome shop can just do the boarder.

There are screws along the chrome border/molding that looks like they would release them by removing a few screws. :confused:

Those screws will release the whole grill when you remove them
