is it possible to use a 68 front clip with 71 frame & cab?

I know this has been covered but I couldn’t find anything from a search.

I would like to use the front clip and bucket seat from a 68 parts truck with on my 71 project truck.

Will the front clip line up properly with a 71 cab and 71 frame?

Will the bucket seats install into a 71 cab that had a bench seat?

Will I need to modify bolt holes, etc...

Thanks
Ian

I am pretty sure you will have to make new holes for the inside mounts on the seats. The front clip will work but I think you need the 68 core support, or maybe it's the hood latch. I know you can take the entire clip and put it on your frame, you just can't mix and match between pieces of the front clips. I hope that makes sense.
