bumpers are different as well as the outer brackets. I think that is all of it.

Thanks for the reply - that laundry list (plus the required paint and possible bodywork) is why the 67 is off the list. The earlier grill I meant was the (I think) 69-70 one with the horizontal bar, but the same outer trim detail. What would need to be changed to swap that unit in (like the lights - do they mount in the grill or on separate brackets)?
I wish I could come up with the scratch for the 67 front-end swap, but the availablity of older decent parts in yards around here is pretty low. I may just start collecting the odds and ends for a later time. Maybe in a couple years when I tear into the rockers....
Thanks,
Herb
