1972 front end on 67 frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Will the whole front end unit from a 1972 1/2 2wd directly bolt up to a 67 1/2 ton 2wd frame.I mean the whole front end assembly as a unit.I only ask as it seems sometimes 67 things are a little different.

The only difference is where the radiator support bolts to the frame. There is a difference in the width of the support mount brackets between 67-68 and 69-72.

I believe the mounting holes for the support are larger for the 69-72 as well.

I like putting the 68 front clips on the 71 or 72 truck for the 5 lug stuff.
