240 grille ona 280?

[bgmk106]

I want to fit a 240 grille onto my 280. Would the bracketry be the same or would it be a custom job? I know that the turn signals would have to be accommodated for.

It will take some modification as the 240 & 280 grilles are different in width, and the mounting points are different. Even the 75-76 and the 77-78 280 grilles are a little different.

Screw it!! Make your own!!! Sorry, got excited. Won't happen again..... Yah right.

Seriously though. Gonna take a little retro fitting but you can make the grill fit. Little cutting and bending and you're good to go.

But should you decide to build your own. Have a blast. I got hit by a kid in a Mazda B2000 and he took out the Hood and the grill. I decided to make my own Full Length Aluminum slat grill. You can do chrome tubing, slats, thin metal sheets or what-ever.

Have fun,
