The easiest way to do it, would to be to grab the entire front clip off a 67 or 68. The only difference between 7 and 8 is side marker lights (normally reflectors) on the latter.
You could go and source a hood, grill, bumper, gravel pan, core support, and harness... but honestly, it is simply easier to find a whole clip as one piece.
While I do love the look of the 67/68 chevy, give the GMC grill a chance to grow on you. It's (IMO) a great looking front end on a great looking truck, but it's one you don't see at every single cruise in... kinda like being with the 'in' crowd, while having your own identity
