Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

It`s a matter of personal choice.There is no 'best" when it comes to this.You didn`t ask Chevy or GMC.It`s opinion,no fact.Maybe you meant to ask,"What`s your favorite grille?"
My answer,whatever grille is on it.I like them all,1925-2007.

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

im kinda all over the place on this one
chevy
i love the 71-72 but think that it is best suited on a 4x4(i probly think that because a 71 4x4 has been around everyday for my whole life)
but i am also very partial to the 67-68 2x4 or 4x4, but i kinda steer clear of the 67's being as i think they look odd without the side markers
69-70 i am kinda picky about i think they look good on certain trucks and if the truck is a 69-70 then thats the only grille it can have, but on a slamed and hevily modded truck i think that the 69-70 is the only way to go
gmc's
i think the 69-70's is the best

all opinion of course

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

I am really starting to like 67-72 GMC front end. Looks mean compare to a chevy front end. One day I'll have a GMC front end on my 69cst.

I like the 71/72 the best myself. All of them look good but I don't really like the billet ones. Just doesn't look right.

Re: 67 thru 72 which year has the best front end

I was always a 71-72 grill fan growing up. Then a few yrs ago I was on a 69-70 kick and considered changing my 71 to a 69-70 front clip. Then sold the truck. Now I am older and love the old school look, so definitely the 67-68.

Here is my 68 if ya'll haven't seen it yet.
