I don't know of any manufacturer that makes a billet grill for the 67-68's. You might have to get one for some other application and modify it to work. That's what I will probably do.

Is this the truck you are thinking of?

They listed the truck as a 71 on that sight. Am I missing something or is that a 68 grill?

I saw one at a show.He said he used a 71-72 billet grill and cut it to fit.I have seen a 70 done the same way.I am thinking about putting a 68 front clip on my suburban,doing the billet grill,and running a 72 bumper.

70 Jimmy, looking at the sign in that pic, it looks like it's listed as a 67. The front end could be 67 or 68 but the front fenders are either 67, or they are newer and they filled the side markers. Same with the bed, no side markers. It's either a 67 truck or someone has made it look like one.

Raising from the dead, LMC offers this, hopefully a Board Vendor will also?

If you do this mod don't forget you will have to relocate the hood release.
