1970 Duster upper grill support

I know this might be a stupid question, but I’m just stuck on the upper grill support. I know that the grill mounts to the upper support, but does the grill support mount to the body somehow. I’ve looked in my service manual and it’s not clearly defined. Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brad

Looks like your fenders are missing the angle brackets that the grille support bolts to. They're a weld-on bracket, which is a shame you didn't know about before you painted. They're easy to make, but, I'll leave the installation decision up to you!
