You need to find the current year.. as all years are different and are not interchangeable. Mounting differs... hood for the 72's are different, also some differences between the headlight bezels between the years for their specific grilles.
You can get one to fit, but it'll look "off".
There are some repo grills being made for 71's (GS style).... think 70's are available right now. 72 Grills are still easy to find as the Skylark and the GS grills are the same on that year.. just paint it black.
Go Here to find info on the repro's:

CO. called "the Parts Place" is doind the 71, and should be ready soon.

Their BB might have info for the Repro 70's.... although, I think they are only available to club members.
Ebay for the 72's... I see one pop up quite often, either used or NOS.

Hiya Madcat :smile:
Yes, the bumpers and headlight bezels are different and require specific grilles from '70-72.
GS club of America has made the repro GS grilles for '70 I think
GS grille is different from the Skylark one, and even the Skylark Custom grille is unique I beleive
