'71 and '72 RR/GTX Grills Interchangable?

[joflaig]

As the thread title asks, are the grills from these two years interchangeable? I really don't like the '72 grill and if I buy a '72 GTX and I wanted to know if I could swap the entire grill out for a '71. Thanks!

Yes but also need to change the 3 grill mounting brackets that mount in the bumper.
I myself think the 72 RR is one of the coolest grill ever.

I went to a lot of trouble and expense searching, purchasing, shipping, restoring, and installing a '72 RR grill on my '72 Satellite (which shares the same factory grill as the '71 models). The brackets are different like moparmarks said. This is only the second time I have found a comment that someone preferred the '71 grill over the '72. But if that is one's preference, the switch is pretty basic.

Be more than happy to trade straight across. I'll even pay shipping.
