(it has the holes for the turn signals in the grill, but they're not there) Notice how the hood is straight across but the grill is angled and doesn't fit right.

'71-5 had the rain gutter continue straight to the back of the cab and was noticeably shorter between the rear edge of the door and the back of the cab.
