IN 1968 Chevy Doghouse/ Front Clip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Todd68Chevy** · 01-29-2012, 11:05 PM

I have a Front clip off of a 1968 Chevy for sale for $350.00. I just got this and I can get more pictures. Just let me know what you want pictures of. It is in pretty good shape but does have a few issues.
Here is what is included:

Hood-- has a dent in front and the center rib is damaged in the front, I have not removed the front trim but on top and below I do not see any rust.

Left Fender-- front cup has some damage but no rust seen, rear looks like some rust forming around the trim from wheel well back.

Right Fender-- front cup has damage but no rust seen, trim is damaged

Grille-- has dent and the lower lip has had 2 holes drilled probably for fog lights, includes bowtie emblem, hoop trim there but damaged

Core Support-- pretty good shape but there is some rust ont the right side below battery, better than most I have seen

Lower Panel between the grille and core support-- good as far as I can see

Head light trim, retainer rings and buckets--

Front light wiring harness-- has been unplugged from the fuse box, good as far as I can tell

Parking lights

Hood Latch

Grille Support

Washer Bracket, Horns

Hood hinges-- without springs

Maybe more but that is what I can think of.

I would say it could be put on and driven but needs some work to be nice. I am asking $350.00 for everything pictured and attached. I am wanting to sell this complete but I will part out if is does not sell complete after a little while. If I part it out the core support will not be for sale at this time but it is included if purchased complete. This is for pick up in Shelburn, IN ONLY and if I part it out I will only be able to ship the littler parts. I will not ship the hood, fenders or grille will be pick up or if we arrange to meet up somewhere.

If you are interested in a Aftermarket hood instead of the one on the doghouse, I have a Tri-plus hood still in the box (box is real rough but hood is new) that I will include instead of the hood pictured for $300.00 extra. That would be $650.00 total.

Thanks for looking and post to the thread before any PM.

I think the bottom one is ok but the top one has a dent. I will check them better and get better pictures. In the last picture in the last post you can see the one I am talking about on the top hoop. Thanks

Are you talking about the grille it self or something else?

Here are some pictures of the hood lip. I also noticed the hood has a dent in it and the center rib looks like it might have a dent. I tried to picture both.

**Todd68Chevy** · 02-01-2012, 09:43 PM

More Pictures. It was getting dark before I got home. I can run a wire brush along the inside and get more pictures if you want but it is solid with surface rust.

**Todd68Chevy** · 02-01-2012, 09:51 PM

Pictures of the dent, the center rib and core support rust-- under the battery and above the battery along the inside of the top lip.

mild2wild · 02-03-2012, 09:54 AM

The main thing I'm looking for is rust bubbles or rust-through where these hoods commonly rust. Pm sent.

The good news is that I do not see any rust bubbles or holes. I went out to clean up the lip and get more pictures and as I did I seen a crack along the front lip so I checked into it and found another big area of bondo covering up some dents on the right front corner. I cleaned the lip and the bondo area off to bare metal and tried to get more pictures. I also was able to get the fenders raised up to get some pictures of the lower cup and the damage I stated. I have not tried to clean it up yet (I can) but the passenger fender does have a little rust I did not see before looking under it.

The hood appears to be pretty clean rust wise. I can deal with the dents. Can you get me an address or the easiest place for you to meet a semi for pickup. I can pay with paypal or however you wish.
