Hey guys, I've got a 77 wagon and was wondering if all 77-79 grilles are interchangeable?

Thanks, Rem.

76-77 and 78-79 Volare grills should be. Headlight and hood trim may need to change as well.
Aspens are another story

Thanks. What i was thinking was to put a 79 in the 77. I wonder how much hassle that is?

8 or 10 small bolts, maybe 15-20 screws, no big deal really. The hood release lever is in a different location 76/7 to 78/9 too IIRC.

It should be, nothing else changed on the front sheetmetal. Fenders and hood were the same 76-79. Its a swap thats been done many times. Check the "new" grill over carefully, they tend to get brittle and can break very easily.
The 78-79 grill is better looking IMO
