Hello everyone just curious if a grill out of a 122 will fit on a 105? I can get one for cheap.

Short answer is NO, not directly. They each have a different mounting system.

But that being said, if you have the skills anything can be made to work.

I don't know if you are referring to the whole cast iron grill shell or just the grill insert itself,,,,,,
Here is a pic of what I did. I put a grill insert from a 71 (same as a 122) into a 106 (same as a 105) grill shell. I think I had to cut a little off the top or bottom to make it fit. I think I also drilled a couple holes in the cast iron shell on the bottom for the uprights to fit into. I secure it with zip ties. I used a 100 headlight panel decal. I like the look better than the original way.

I'm referring to just the grill insert. I've got a chance to get one for cheap and was curious if it would work. Thanks for the explanation guys, merry Christmas and btw sweet cub you have there.

Tim, just curious what kind of wheels are those on the rear??

And I checked out your picture album and love them all. Great work!

Thanks for the compliments.
Ironman,, Those rear wheels on the 106 are,(I think) wheels from an early Dodge Caravan, 14x6. The bolt pattern was cut out ,then reversed and welded back in. That gave me a lot of positive offset.
