Default Question on 70 front grill

The correct grill should only have one place for a screw and that is in the corner correct. The rest of the attachment points should be studs on the back.

Correct, also at the end of the 70 run some cars had the 71-72 grills and some very early 71's had the 70 grills BUT GM never mixed the grills up--one side 70 and the other 71-72 a sign of a fender bender! Thad

I have a June built car, and it has the '70 grill. This summer at a car show, I saw an early '70 and it had the grill with the screws. ('71) I assumed they had been replaced. I didn't ask the owner about it. His car looked good.
