You would have to run a '67 grille to make it work, elevation is the problem. Upper grille chrome sits about 1" higher on the GMC

Re: 68 chevy hood question...
I don't know but this one says its a 72 with a 68 hood. Don't know about the fenders tho. But I kinda like the look of it.

Looks like he unbolted the upper grille bar, and ran '67 eyebrow and hood trim

Re: 68 chevy hood question...
I thought 67-68 chevy hoods were the same as GMC hoods...guess i'm wrong.

Re: 68 chevy hood question...
Jaros, I would bet you have 69-72 CHEVY fenders.
None of the GMC fenders have that indent. To answer the original question, yes, it will fit with the 67-68 top bar, grill support and hood latch. Rg

Re: 68 chevy hood question...
If you make it worth my while to go digging thru my old parts, I think Chevy and GMC fenders are the same of that year, but I could be wrong...5.00 cover the bet?

Re: 68 chevy hood question...
The upper grill trim should be the only thing you need to replace than run it with no side or hood trim or find 67-68 trim.

Re: 68 chevy hood question...
You'll need the hood latch too, trust me...
Here's another GMC with an earlier hood...
