What you describe is something I never thought possible. It's more complicated than just switching trim. The 69-72 GMC surround (2pcs on fender & center piece between hood and grille) was never made to go with the 67/68 hoods. It's not a simple use this instead of that. That center piece goes with the 69-72 hood because those hoods are inches shorter than 67/68. '68 Chevy fenders are the same as 68-72 GMC and 69-72 Chevy fenders are stepped down along the front edge. It looks like I see that step down over top of the trim. and, although you can use a 67/68 Chevy core support create a GMC one, it requires adding all the GMC headlight mounting. doesn't anyone else see what I'm seeing?

Special-K I have thought about doing this same swap but only using the 67-68 hood and keeping the 72 grill. I see what you are saying here but what is the difference between the OPs hood-grill arrangement and the one in post #52 (later GMC). The fenders of both look to have the "notch" or set back to accept the surround grill the same as the 69-72. The only difference I can see is the height of the hood.

My time consumer...

that_red_c10 · 02-24-2015, 10:38 PM

WOW!! is that factory? Ive seen some but never spoken to someone who owned one.

**71blksuper4x4** · 02-24-2015, 10:41 PM

Not factory, I've been chopping and welding for the past year.

that_red_c10 · 02-24-2015, 10:44 PM

oh ok! That must suck though. Having to wait, although... patience is key

. Was there a factory 4 door when the 67-72 began production?

My 1968 c20 barn find. All original paint and body. It was a 327 and 4 speed but I dropped in a 550hp 468 bbc and a th400.

RB72 · 03-13-2015, 12:46 PM

Just bought my 72 K10 Cheyenne. Gunna be my first truck! Can't wait to get my liscense!

Heavymetl · 03-13-2015, 01:01 PM

I'm getting it together, sure hope to have it running by April 1st.

5.3, PT7675CEA, 4L80E, 9" w/3.25, PTC Converter

This pic was taken last year. I drove it a ton, and with newfound reliable power I intend to drive it even more in 2015. This truck quickly became a favorite vehicle of mine.

If it runs like this...I'll be glad I've got 4 wheel disc brakes!
