EVERYTHING related to assembling the front clip is a challenge. LOL!
I didn't have issues with assembling the front bars to the back bars and uprights. My grille was a composite of two different grilles, as some of the original bars were too far gone to repair. As far as the sequence of the bars, the lower has the depression in the middle for the hand crank and the rest are keyed with notches on the back side matching front and back bars.
The attached pics shows the notches on the bars. For some reason, the lowest bar has one notch, followed by 4 notches, then 3, then 2 notches. The top bar is unique, as it doesn't have a back bar, and has holes along the back edge that the hood latch plate bolt to. The next one down is also different, having mounting holes for the parking lights.
