Help decide which front clip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1LoC10 · 05-14-2007, 05:53 PM

I love all of these truck years, so i figured I would put it to a poll to see what everyone else thinks.
I cant decide which way to go with my truck

1LoC10 · 05-14-2007, 05:55 PM

and my truck if you didnt know what it looked like

71chevylowrider · 05-14-2007, 06:03 PM

Man that is a tuff one, I love the 71/72 front's always have, but the 67-69 looks pretty bada$$ too, it's got a little more of a slippery looking front end cause of the sloping hood, & on a lowered truck it looks hot. why are you changing the front clip anyway?

1LoC10 · 05-14-2007, 06:07 PM

well my fenders need work, my core support is all rotten, I want a cowl hood, and a chrome bumper....so i figured im pretty much getting everything anyways

71chevylowrider · 05-14-2007, 06:10 PM

I totally understand now, hey, you should post a couple pics of your truck in the photo shop area & have one of those talented people put each front end on your truck & see how it looks before you buy anything, they are very good.

I tried to vote, but there was no option for 71-72

1969k10stepside · 05-14-2007, 06:50 PM

67-68 style for a 2wd....

jsbgump · 05-14-2007, 06:55 PM

Bamm!

67-68 all the way baby!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-14-2007, 10:10 PM

allthough i love every year of these trucks, id have to say that theres alot of conversions to the 67-68 clip so i voted for the 69-70

**67 cst swb** · 05-14-2007, 11:47 PM

Well, here's my .02 cent worth...
If going with a lowered truck and wanting a cowl hood, my opinion is 67-68 all the way...
if NO lowering, with NO cowl hood, any 67-68 or 69-72 look good...
Remember that's just my thoughts...
Oh, and if it's stepside, cowlhoods don't look right, I don't know why, it's just me I guess...

**Hart_Rod** · 05-15-2007, 07:45 AM

Here's a 69 Lowered,

. But I really like the 67-68 also,

Spray-Bomb · 05-15-2007, 10:24 AM

I love both !

But both my dad & I have 67's, so thats where my vote went

brak · 05-15-2007, 11:06 AM

I'm in the same boat as you, only the polar opposite...

I love the egg crate grille, which is why i have a 72, but upon installation, i found out my new fenders are for a 68...

now i'm caught with the dilemma of whether to just get the correct core support and settle for the 68 front end(planned on using a 67-68 hood regardless), or try to sell these fenders and find 71/72 fenders to keep the grill i love...

Decisions are hard

I've always leaned towards the 67-68 years.
