Grill options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I have a 72 c20 that i'm building right now and the grill of the truck has seen better days to say the least... I have always been fond of the 68 gril and was wondering if anyone has tried it. searched around and couldn't really find any information on the subject.

Thanks, Cody.

Been done lots of times, or I should say a '67-68 grill in conjunction with a 67-68 hood, and fenders are different if it's a Chevy. If it's a GMC the 67-70 grills are the same (except the 67 has "GMC" embossed into it) and interchange with 71-72 grills. The filler/cap on top of the GMC grill is different between 67-68 hoods and 70-72 hoods.

Wasn't sure what the original poster was really looking to do, so I kept it brief hoping to pull out more details.

Just to make sure we are all on the same page, I want to go from thisGrill to this grill.

You said go to 68 grill in your original post ... hence the confusion.

You should go back and edit your post to say that you're wanting a '69/70 grille, since that's what you meant to say.

Can't blame you for wanting the 69/70 grille. One of the best looking IMHO.

It should be pretty straightforward. Keep in mind that the 71/72 grilles don't have blinkers, so they put them in the front bumper I believe. So, you'd want a 67-70 bumper, or it'll look funny.
