41chevy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Look under the webbing on the grill shell that the hood rests on. You should find a series of screws holding it on to the radiator, I believe.

j hancock Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The grill shell has to come off the radiator. The decorative grill is held onto the grille shell with the screws and metal tabs which are part of the decorative grille. Be careful because they are very easy to break when the tabs are "unfolded" to release the grille.The grille tabs go through slots in the shell. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

gmttsn54 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 So do I have to remove the nose then because I removed the screws and it will not budge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yes. Separate the nose from the radiator which will give you room to undo the tabs. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmttsn54 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 jim there are 2 bolts on the bottom covered by the fenders it seems like I need to remove the fenders to get them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah, there is one screw on each side that is behind the fender. I just check one of mine and didn't remember that the screws went that far down.There are two screws very low on each side that hold a lower splash pan but they can stay in while removing the grille from the radiator.

39 Baby Mack Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This best way I have found is to remove the hood, then the radiator and radiator shell as a unit.Remove the hood webbing from the radiator shell and you can get to all the screws holding the shell to the radiator.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmttsn54 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Still seems like those lower bolts are holding it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
