You need the 4 headlight rad support and the GMC grille pieces. Then you should be good to go

You would need a 68 GMC front clip, including wiring harness for the quad headlights. The individual pieces you need to amass are:
1. GMC quad headlight wiring harness 2. 68-72 GMC front fenders or 68 Chevy front fenders. Your 67 fenders will work but don't have the the side markers. 3. 68 GMC hood, if you want it "stock" as this will have GMC across the front. Your 67 chevy hood will work, however. 4. GMC radiator support, preferably 67/68 as it has the provisions for the lower valance piece, but a 69-72 GMC support will work. 5. A 67 or 68 GMC hood latch mechanism 6. GMC turn signals housing/lens/wiring pigtails (any year) 7. Any year GMC grille will work but 68-70 is correct. 8. A 67 or 68 GMC topbar. Some people consider this part of the grill, but its a year specific piece that is riveted onto the grill assembly. This is why any year grill will work with the correct top bar 9. To be 100% correct, you'll also need the 68 chevy/GMC hood trim piece and fender eyebrows.

You will need the fenders, because the 68s have side markers, and the 67s dont... i think. Someone will correct me if i'm wrong. I'm currently looking for 67 fenders (without sidmarkers). I have 68s and all the stuff you need so maybe we could do a little trade? What conditions is your stuff in? My stuff is not perfect, but it is definately usable. uhhh, i just saw your location. Why does everybody with the stuff i need live so far away?

Just want to clarify something here. I have a 68 GMC, while I was away at Hershey PA a couple of weeks ago I inadvertently purchased a '72 GMC grille and top bar, I still have the old top bar and hood mechanism from the '68 so I think that everything will work, plus i bought the proper headlight doors for the grille after I realized my mistake. I have placed both grilles side by side and cannot notice a difference. I am hoping to still use the original eyebrows and hood trim piece. Any help would be appreciated. I have enclosed a picture of what I had before the restoration began, quite a indepth resoration I might add, and I know that the grille pictured is from a 1967 the PO did that.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping that everything was going to work out ok. Thanks for the compliment on the truck, just wait till I post the pics of when it is done in the spring. Here are a couple of more pics of its more current state after the cab was stretched. It is currently in high solids primer waiting for muliple coats of inferno red pearl metallic.
