front clip swapping
 
ok first off i did a search and looked in faq section before asking this question...when i swap a 68 clip to a 72 truck i know i have to swap fenders hood and rad support but how bout fender wells and radiator, and are the bumper brackets the same? is there any other stuff at all that needs to changed? thanks

fenderwells and radiator can stay the same.

Brackets are specific to 71-72 bumpers.

i think the radiator support body bushings are different too.

He'll need to use bushings from his 72 frame. They're still available new from GM if he needs them too.

When I swapped mine from a 72 Chevy to a 67 GMC I replaced the entire clip in 1 piece. Fenders, inner fenders, rad support, hood, grille and wiring harness. I used the rad support cushions from the 72 and they worked well
