Hi everyone !! will a front grille from a 71-73 pinto fit my 75 it looks a bit different at the ends, but will it fit the hole?? thanks John.
If I recall, it should mount. Pintony posted a topic about this when he was active here. The 74 and 75 grills extend outwards more than the 71-73 grills do, bringing the front of the grill flush with the front edge of the hood instead of recessed. If I remember correctly, the center mounting tabs are slightly different as well.
Here is the thread about it:

:search: is handy, but it can be tricky to use. Just be sure you are on the home page of the site (www.fordpinto.com) when you first use it, or you will only be searching the sub forum you are currently viewing/in.
