Will a 68 front bumper fit a 72? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondering if there were any differences... I like the LMC replacement front with the round driving lights. I did not want to use the 72 with rectangular lights...

yes

You would have to do something about your turn signals such as use a 69 - 70 grill that incorporates the signals in the grill.

I've been wondering the same thing. What are your ideas for turn signals? Are you going to stay with the 72 grill?

DEUCESWILD · 03-26-2010, 09:08 AM

Yes,it will fit .You can buy the headlights with the parking/signal lights in them to solve your signal light problem.I have them in my 72 even though I HAVE THE STOCK BUMPER.

How about rear bumpers? I have a 67 Stepside and would like to use the chrome rear step bumber in the LMC catalog instead of the standard stepside chrome bumper. Any fit issue that you guys know of?

I want to do this and use the headlights that have the turn signal built in.

You can also put the turn signals behind the grill.

I've got a 68 and had to use a 72 front bumper for a while and i had to get different brackets because the brackets need to go wider on the 72 because of the turn signals.
