How do you get there from here.......

I do believe you would have to change the hole front end.Hood, fenders, rad support are 67, 68, only and 69-72.

yep, You'll need the entire front clip, to include the bumper.

Yeppers, what they said, you need

1 67/68 Rad support
1 68 Right Fender
1 68 Left Fender
1 67/68 Hood (Cowl

)
1 67/68 Gravel Sheild
1 67-70 Front bumper
1 67/68 Hood latch set-up
1 67/68 Grill*

*Everything above is available repop
except for the grill, happy swapping

Note: you can get any '68-'72 GMC fenders, they were the same in GMC's

oh, paul brings up a good point...
each and every one of us has suumubed you are talking about Chevy, and not GMC.
If it's a GMC, and you want to run a 67 or 68 grill (nopt the same grill) on a 72, all you need is the grill, and a welder to fill in some trim holes.

Here's the skinny

If you have a GMC:
If you want to put a 68 GMC grille on it do what Andy says in post 6
If you want to put a 68 Chevy grille on it you need to change out the hood, radiator support, and grille.

If you have a Chevy:
If you want to put a 68 Chevy grille on it follow what the other posts say, basically replace the whole front clip.
Same deal if you want to put a 68 GMC grille on it
