Are the factory grilles on '70 Plymouth Satellites, Road Runners and Belvederes the same? I'm building the Monogram '70 GTX kit as a Satellite and using the Road Runner kit's grille, as based on what I saw at www.hamtramck-historical.com , all three grilles appear to be the same, but maybe the small trim band around the grille's perimeter is the only difference?  The grilles in the following two pics appear to be correct for a Road Runner (and maybe for Satellites & Belvederes, too):   TIA.

They are the same, but the paint is different.
Please elaborate. Color? Texture?

In the pics you posted, you can see the outer band of the grille/bezels is light textured argent, with the vertical fin areas med. textured argent.
A standard Satellite/Belvedere grille is the exact opposite, outer band med. textured argent.....
Great info.  Thank you both.

Sorry, but SPORT satellite was the only '70 PLymouth b-body that used the red/white/blue emblem in the center of the grille.
Belv., Sat., RR all used the 'Plymouth' emblem on the left side of the grille.
