Re: Converting '68 GMC to '67-'68 Chevy grill

I would agree if I was "converting" a GMC to a Chevy. I just happen to like the painted Chevy grill better then the '67-'72 GMC options, so I'm swapping out the "grill". The tailgate will still say GMC, and most likely there will be a front GMC emblem of some sort applied eventually to the nose. For many people that do not know the '67-'72 trucks as well as folks here do...when they look at the truck (and the emblems).....it'll just look like another old "GMC" to them.

And a grill... hardly a truck makes.... I mean, I guess I could swap the title info from my '72 C10 to my '68 GMC... and then call the '68 GMC a '72 C10 with a '67-'68 front clip (and swap the tailgate for my bowtie one). It would still be the same truck, but then the '67-'68 grill would be kosher.
