changing the front clip

was searching for the answer with no luck, but I'm sure its doable. Taking the front clip off my '68 GMC (fenders, hood, core support, grille) and swapping them onto my '67 chevy burb that already had the front clip changed to a '69 by a P/O. The '69 front clip is beat up and the GMC clip is in really good shape, just the rest of the truck has seen better days.

Re: changing the front clip

As long as you are doing the entire front clip, (or dog house) not a problem. You may have to shim the core support to get the alignment on. I remember folks saying there is a slight difference in the core support mounts from 67 and the rest. But very do-able. Don't forget you'll need the wiring harness to change it over to 4 lights vice the 2.
