GMC hood change

I have a 72 GMC and I want to put a 67 hood on it. Can I just get a 67 grill
or are there other parts I will need to change ?
Thanks Jim

You do not need a complete 67-68 GMC grill, just a 67-68 GMC upper grill bar, (its rivited on) a 67-68 GMC hood latch and a 67-68 hood

Re: GMC hood change

If I bought a new aftermarker grill would the upper grill bar be on it?
I will need a new grill anyway. I am in thr process of restoring the truck
so now would be a good time to find the parts I need.One more thing
my truck has GMC grill ,GMC on the hood,GMC on the fenders and GMC on the tailgate but, it has coil springs on the rear end. How can you tell if it is a chevy or GMC ? It does not matter to me which brand it is I would just like to know.
Thanks Jim

Re: GMC hood change

Either could be had either coil or leaf. Here in Canada typically all were coil and some were ordered leaf. As I understand it in the US most GMC's were leaf and most Chev's were coil but again either could be had either way.

Nope it will not come with it., As far as I know the 67-68 upper grill bar is not being reproduced at this time
