Cant do it unless you do some sheet metal mods or change fenders and hood!

69-72 will interchange

Re: Front Grille options

what about to go from the 71 grille back to the 69 since the truck is a 1969... is it a simple swap?

Re: Front Grille options

Like said earlier all chevy grilles between 69 and 72 can be swapped easily. You can go from a 69 to 71 or a 71 to a 69 grille. Just unbolt the old and bolt on the new. A pre69 grille will require a lot more work, basically you would need to change the entire front clip.

Won't you just need the grille and the grille support??? I have a '69 and would like a '68 grille too..

Re: Front Grille options

67,68 Chevys and all GMC will interchange (IIRC on the GMC's)
1969+ are interchangeable

the fenders and hoods are different -68&GMC and 69+.
Also there are changes in the rad support.
