A GMC needs 4 headlight buckets. I suppose you could add some, much easier to get a GMC core support from a wrecking yard and re-build the rust out areas.

Re: Will 68 GMC grill fit 68 chevy front-end?
Yeah, you'd have to replace the radiator support, unles you decide to put some dual-buckets on your existing support.
Just curious, why is it that you prefer the GMC front end? You haven't seen the movie Christine have you?  I almost did that conversion on my 67 because I love the dual beam look! But, in the end, I was pretty much convinced that the Chevy front was slicker. But if I get my hands on an "egg crate" truck, I'd switch it for sure.Also, I'm pretty sure you'd have to repalce the outside fenders and do some minor wiring, but don't hold it against me if I'm wrong. I'm just eyeing it from a blurry image in the back of my head.

naaa, the fenders and hod are the same... although, the C H E V R O L E T will look funny when we all know it's a GMC grill.

You need to change the light harness. Either find the headlight buckets for a GMC or a GMC radiator support. Also a GMC bumper has the recess for the turn signals. 67 and 68 fenders are the same as 67 to 72 GMC's other than the marker lights of course on the 67. Or should I say lack of on both Chevy and GMC.

67 GMC didn't have the cut out mentioned on the bumper... not sure about 68.
