Front clip question here

Hey guys, I have a 71 c10 and am interested in putting a 68 grille assembly on it. are the fenders of the 68 different from the 71 ? or will it bolt up right without me switching fenders? thanks all.

You will need everything. The fenders, hood and rad support are different.

Re: Front clip question here

you can reuse your inner fenders.... otherwise, you need it all from a 68.

I guess you can keep the headlights (not the buckets) and the hood hinges too...
It's well worth it IMO though.
