Does anyone have experience with swapping a 73/4 dart grille to a later 75/6 dart.

I installed a 73 grill on my 75 dart. Not all the mounting holes match up but it will fit without any modifications.

I too have done it on this car. The headlight surrounds are slightly different and the header panel (beak) is different. The two steel mounting tabs that are part of the header panel are different shape and in a different location 73-74 vs 75-76. With a little ingenuity and patience you will have no problem making it work. If you have the parts i would use the 73-4 header panel, headlight surrounds and grill.

Rainy, if you look at joshcooks car you will see the 75-76 headlight surrounds, also the 75-76 beak trim which says "dodge". The 73-74 beak trim is more plain like on my white car above.
