What are tyhe differences in the 67 and 68-72 GMC Grill?? I like the GMC being on the grill instead of the hood, just wondering if it's possible?

They all interchange.The`67 is unique,as you know.68-70 are the same,except no GMC letters.71/72 have a wider verticle center bar and black accenting around the openings seperating right from left.

I'm always wanting to learn on here, but Tim, are you sure that the center bar is wider on the 71/72? I know that the center part of the grill is accented black, and might give the illusion of being wider, but I have never heard that before or seen that center bar wider than the others. Any wider and it would be even harder to get to the hood latch, and I have the GMC off set hood latch in mine.

I always thought the the only difference in all those years on the stamping of the grill, was just the 67 having GMC in the middle.

I would like to know this for sure.

The last picture is of my grill....

I don't know if the 71/72 is wider, but it has the recessed area stamped in the middle that the 69 and older does not. (it's not just paint)
As for the OP's question, the grills will swap no problem, the outter dimentions stayed the same.
