Front clip swap

I've seen so many sick looking 67-68's lately I've been debating putting a 68 front clip on my 72 Super and removing all the trim. If I do this I will definately use the 68 clip because I really like the aerodynamic look but love the marker lights too. IMO the 68 just looks meaner than the 67. My only concern is I will be doing this truck an injustice by swapping out the clip. It is an original BBC, tach, tilt, A/C, etc. But at this point I've already added 4 wheel discs, dont have the OE engine/trans, etc. I guess I shouldn't worry about what it'll do to the value because I plan on driving this thing until I cant drive any more anyway. What are your thoughts. Thanks fellas

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Re: Front clip swap

My opinion is to do what makes you happy....I personally agree with you 100% and would do the swap...You can sell all your parts and it will almost cost you nothing to accomplish what makes you happier....
i love the 68 front and just never had a good truck come across for a descent deal..Good luck
