Missing front end parts for my '72 cutlass and i need help finding out which ones

Maccabeus · December 5th, 2007, 09:01 PM

This is a picture of my '72 cutlass (442 possibly). It's missing this front end. The problem is that I do not know exactly what parts I am missing. I have the grilles, the headlights, headlight buckets, the headlight mounting rings, the stone sheild, and I believe the Headlight Bezels. I also know I need the bumper. But other than that, I don't much what I would be missing. I don't know if there is somthing that goes infront of the radiator, but behidn the stone and grilles to attach them. HELP APPRECIATED!!!

I'm not 100% familiar with this year, but there should also be some brackets that mount to the core support for the grilles, and bumper fillers too. I'm sure someone here can fill you in better. Best of luck with the project.

Maybe the passenger's headlight filler, 6 tubes for supporting the front bumper and the hood release handle.

That is all I see missing.

I crawled under mine to shoot a couple of pics inside out if it helps. These were from the passenger side from behind the bumper. The first 1 or 2 are from the slot in the bumper looking in.

Might want to purchase a factory service manual. It would make this kind of work alot easier. Sorry, I don't know much about Cutlasses, otherwise I would give you some specific advise.

I have to agree, fisher body manuals I've seen on EEEEbay go for $25.
