Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
Chevy by a mile. Just picked up mine and am finding hard to work on my other trucks because I like it the best. Before I get to it I have to finish the 69 shortstep, 63 shortwide, 64 shortwide, 56 shortstep bigwindow, then the 67 Longbed to be converted into a shortwide. I guess I know what I will be doing the next coulpe of years.

I like them all to be honest. I think they are equally pretty and aggressive looking.

Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
The Chevys are kickin arse!!
 GMC = Red-headed stepchild!! I like the GMC also, but no truck of any make or any year is better looking than a '67 Chevy IMO. I just bought a '67 clip for my '69 Car hauler!

Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
GMC! Honestly, I don't like the look of the 67-68 Chevy front clip, but I really dig the 67-72 GMC clip and the 69-70 Chevy clip. Don't get me started on the 71-72 Chevy clip!!!

Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
The 67-68 GMC is all workhorse, the business end of GM...67-68 Chev is more appealing to the feminine folks, clean lines. Northcountry67, I think your front end will look real mean in that gray metallic. Just kidding on the "feminine" reference.

Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
I prefer a pair of sevens to four 5 3/4s on just about anything. The Chevy just looks cleaner & more attractive to me.

Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
I prefer the GMC grill of any of the 67-72 years to anything Chevy offered. The '71-'72 Chev isn't bad looking, but it seems everyone and their brother has on on their truck, and its sort of like V-8's...............Doesn't anyone WANT to be different?
I'd like to put a GMC front clip on my '72 K-20 Chev, but it is hard to find GMC parts trucks around here, so I guess I'll keep it stock. It seems everyone wants the '67 Chev grill/hood now..............

Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
My mom always told me, "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" So I won't comment on what I think of the GMC grill. BTW, I own a 68 GMC.

Re: 67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler?
Chevy, definately. Simple, clean lines. That is why I am drawn to 67'-72' Chevy trucks in the first place.
