will a 67 GMC grill fit my 71 burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DUTCHMAN · 09-03-2003, 11:23 AM

I have removed the GMC lettering from the hood of my 71 burb. Will the 67 GMC grill with the lettering in it fit without modifications?

Yes, but you'll have to use the top bar from your 71 grille or you'll have approx 1.5 inches of gap between grille and hood. Sorry you'll have to translate to centimeters.

1.5 inches = 3.81 centimeters

Mississippi has gone metric? It was always a "backwards" state. Damn Rebels!

Theory Of Creation, huh? Mississippi is like Silly Putty. God was trying to create one thing and ended up with...well...uh...Mississippi.

J/K guys, NH isn't a hotbed of culture either.

Hey Dutchman,

Where did you get the pic of that grille? I like how it has the GMC logo in the middle. That isn't stock, right? I don't think any of the GMC's had that.

Slammed67 · 09-04-2003, 09:59 AM

'67 GMC's had the GMC letters in the grille as the picture shows. '68 GMC's had the same grille without the letters. So '67 grilles were a one year only grille.

DUTCHMAN · 09-04-2003, 04:23 PM

Hey Aaron got the pic from GMCPauls side.

Think the grill togetter with the chrome topbar and eyebrows look good on my 71 burb.
