These photos will show the various years and point out the differences for your convenience.
These Photos were borrowed from The 73to77 Chevy A-Body Showcase on Yahoo Clubs. Check them out in my links.
Although the 73-75 front ends look similar, there are a few differences.
Grilles
The 73 Grille has the MC emblem in the center and the bars are small squares.
The 74 Grille has a medium size square and the MC emblem is above the grille.This pic. shows Monte Carlo on the header panel, it is on the grille. I will update this pic soon
The 75 Grille has the largest square with vertical bars in them. The MC emblem is in the center of the grille.
Parking lights
On 73 the lenses are clear with a horizontal bar across them.
On 74 the lenses have a yellow reflector inside them.
On 75 the divider is vertical.
Front Bumpers
Although the bumpers look similar the lower grille openings are different sizes and the grille in them should match the main grille. As seen on the 75 front view, there was an available set of bumper guard with rubber strips and another strip that went across the length of the bumper.

74 & 75 Front Fender
The 74 & 75 front fender did not have a marker light, but did have an indent where the light would have gone. The trim piece for this area is solid but on the other years it has a cut out for the light to show thru. The fender can be notched out to work on other years.
