The outer grille bars have notches stamped in them on the rear lip of each outer bar (1notch,2 notches,3 notches,4 notches),
This matches a corresponding notch on each inner grille bar to facilitate the match ups.
Each bar is slightly shorter in length with the longest bar at the bottom of the assembled grille, then the next longest etc....
There is a Tech Tip under Grille that illustrates this also with good advice to run an external ground wire between both lamp housings to ensure good ground continuity.
Hope this helps!
I am assuming this is a Chevy AD style truck you are working on.
May I suggest to edit your preferences that will automatically post your truck year and make in your post to help out.
