NC WTB: 67 or 68 Front Clip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

johnboy1861 · 06-14-2016, 11:03 PM

Hey all,
I picked up another 68 C10 a month ago and the PO swapped the front end for a 69 clip. I am wanting to build this truck back as a slant nose, so I am looking for parts. The main thing is the hood. I would prefer to find an entire clip, but I am mildly comfortable with going aftermarket on everything but the hood. If anyone in the tristate region (NC/SC/VA) has a line on one, please let me know. Thanks guys

You do know the hood will not work with the 69 fenders and grill right ?

johnboy1861 · 06-15-2016, 06:43 AM

Yes, I am aware of that. That is why I said I would get aftermarket fenders if I have to. From all the research I have done, it seems that the one piece that absolutely never fits aftermarket, is the hood. Unless they have retooled the stamping and i'm unaware. When I was living in AZ, this was too easy, just go to the salvage yard and get what you need. Here in NC, not so easy, everything is rusted to pieces, if you can even find it. Thanks

I hear you. I am looking for the hood too here in Florida. Found a nice looking one on CL and the fella says it is REAL solid. 2 hour drive and when I pull up I can see the hood is up on the truck and I can see right thru it. Solid except for all the rust holes.

I don't know if this will work for you, but I thought I would post.

Thats a heck of a deal Noneck, I would be all over it if I was in need of those still

Your right Johnboy, good solid parts are hard to come by even here in NC

Noneck, thanks for the link. That is a great deal, unfortunately it is about 600 miles away. I am on the coast of NC.

I've got a grille, inner fenders, core support and hood in Charlotte.

I am definitely interested. I work in Fayetteville, so Charlotte is just a hop. What are you looking to get for them and what shape are they in?
