scamp grille conversion
there are plenty of people that have done this swap, i never heard of anyone changing the core support. there is a filler panel on both the 70-72 and 74 and newer, they look like they will interchange i have the parts here and have studied them pretty well. if you look at your pics you posted you can see the filler panel. ther eis a small tab mounted to the fenders it has one hole and one nut welded on for the upper grill support to bolt to. aside from the side markers that is the only difference i see.
You're gonna have to swap the whole front clip. Hood, fenders and bumper are different. 70-72 flat grille/hood/bumper, 73-up pointed. Even if there was a way to physically mount the grille, your hood would overhang the grille in the middle with a big gap in the middle if it even closed at all, not to mention the gap between the grille and the bumper. The 73 bumper has a point in the middle also. Take a good look at some 70-72 Dusters/Scamps, then take a look at some 73-up cars and you'll see what we're saying. For comparison:
Sorry dude, we're just trying to save you some grief. Not gonna happen. Pretty sure there are a few on the board that have already done this swap that will tell you the same thing.
