I have a GMC fender on my burb with the 68 chevy grill. (its the green fender)
The P/N for a 68 chevy fender, is the same as a 68 - 72 GMC.

hmm, still a little confused. i understand that the GMC fenders work with the older grill becasue the fronts of te fenders match. so can i use 72 GMC fenders with a 67 hood and grill and rad support??

Some people have used the 68-72 GMC fenders with the 67-68 Chevrolet grills.
Is that what you are trying to do?

Or,... are you trying to use a 67-68 GMC grill with your 72 GMC fenders?

67 fenders don't have side marker lights, on either the GMC, or Chevy fenders. As for the hood and rad support. You'll need to get those for the 67-68 chevy. The hood will fit from either a 67-68 GMC or Chevy.
