I wouldn't do that to my truck, but from the pic 100 feet away, that looks to be a pretty decent graft job. I give them an "E" for effort. lol.

Re: 68 nose or 69?

What does it take to put the 68 hood on a 69 front end?

A lot of rework to the hood. A board member showed a pictural diary of how he did it and would be doing it the same way. I see quite a few 2wd blazers with the 68 nose, but not many that are 4wd, which is what I have.

Re: 68 nose or 69?

I say go for the 69 grill and 68 hood. Their are too many 67-68 swaps out their that look great but it is starting to get common. That is why I did the 68 hood on my 70. I have never really liked the 69 and 70 grills but with this hood mod it is now my favorite.

kevin I have your thread already copied and printed for the sheetmetal guy. I will probably be going this route since I plan on a 67-8 nose on my next 2wd project.
