Well it's not as easy as u think. the actual cowl is different....hood mounts.The old style bolt to the fenders and the newer style recess down into the cowl.I mean it can be done but it's kinda a pain in the ass.It would probably be easier to buy a sucide hood kit from autoloc or wherever.I did that to my old 80 chevy then i changed it back to the old style cuz i liked it more!! haha whole buncha work for nothin!

what i mean is i want to change the grill to the 85 style cause i really dont care much for the headlights on the 73, so can i just buy the grill and it slaps right in, or do i have to do the usual and change core support, fenders, and so on.

to go to a 85 u need hood,fenders,core support,grill,bumper brackets, the firewall has to be notched for the new hood hinge but other than that it can be swapped over in a day if you have everything i went froma 78 to an 89 burb frt and took less than a day
