Completing c10 truck front end parts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dodge68charger · 01-21-2016, 03:40 PM

Hey guys i aquired a 1972 c10 truck cab and fenders, hood, grill and core support from a 1968 truck. I love the look of a 1968 c10. Just wondering what parts i need to complete the front end. Brackets, latches, etc. I am not using factory front wheel tubs and probably go with slosh tubz. Any help would be great. Thanks

If you have a 67-68 hood latch it sounds like you're good to go.

Fenders, Hood, Grill, Core support and latch from the 68 is all you need...

Thank you. Is there a difference from the other years. I have a 69 hood latch on a parts truck. Thanks

Only 67 and 68 had the slope in the hood, thats why only 67 and 68 parts work on those years... 69 through 72 all will work together, but the grills are all different and so are the side marker lights and a few other small things. These are whats called one year trucks because each year was slightly different than the previous years. So I dont think the latch you have will work..

Nope, the 69 latch is different than the 67-68 latch.
