Don't quote me but I thought you could take a Chevy core support and weld the headlight buckets from a GMC on it ???

yes, the core support from a 67-68 chevy is basically the same except for the headlight buckets.
I tried to find a good used 67-68 core support, used a great GMC support, removed the dual headlight buckets and brazed the single on. What you want to do but in reverse

oh yeah, that's right. my bad. it was greenhorn male. I knew it was green something. I picked you because you are closer and I actually got to meet you.

you would need to remove the chevy buckets first, unless its a 67 support. those didnt have buckets on the support. IIRC

That`s right!GM made zillions of them from 67-72.Someone should make them.They Finally started making Grilles and tailgates,at least.
