front clip swap...?
I was just wondering what all needed to be replaced when swapping a 67 or 68 front clip onto a 1969. I know the fenders hood and grill of course but does the rad support need to be replaced or any other mounting brackets for lights or anything??
thanks for the help |

remember that the 67's didn't have marker lights in the fenders, so if you want to run 'shaved' look for some 67 fenders, if you plan on keeping your side marker lights, keep on the lookout for 68 fenders
And of course, welcome to the party!

I think you need the hood latch also. Welcome to the board from South Mississippi!

Welcome o the board from central Ohio.
ON your question, the entire front clip needs to be swapped out for what you're looking to do, although, you can keep your hood hinges.
