Re: 69-72 front conversion

welcome to the board from a local!
You are wanting to put a 69/70 front end on a 67/68 truck?
Assuming it is a Chevy...
You'll need everything up front...
fenders
hood
core support
grill
trim
Headlight buckets
wire harness (not needed, but makes things way easier)

The best way, is to get the entire front clip and swap it out as one piece.

Re: 69-72 front conversion

ahhh, the black and white big block rust bucket C/20 Cheyene super?
That one ended up getting sold as scrap... and a buddy of mine got it from the junk yard. Got a little beat up after it got to his lot, I sold him some of my leftover parts off my suburban, spray bombed them and it's lookin decent-ish now

You can see it got punched in the nose, bent up the hood, grill, and it still had damage from the cement divider on the drivers side



I just gave him a set of '72 plates for X-mas the other day... last year I gave him a black and white die-cast '72 pick up.
