Convert 68 core support to fit 72 question

[Meangreen1]

I have a mint 67/68 core support that I was hoping to make work. Can you think of a way to do this? Options??

I think you could easily trade it for the right one. I have a mint 71 support and I would trade in heartbeat if you were close. You probably could weld on the headlight extensions but it would be a lot easier to have the right one.

I converted a chevy to gmc last week, very easy, just weld on the headlight brackets. Do it with the grill and headlight trim installed to make sure they fit right.

You converted a 67/68 Chevy to GMC? Dang we could have just traded. Would have been motivation for me to get on the nose change on my GMC/Chevy. I know its pretty simple though to convert from GMC to Chevy.

As far as OP goes I didn't think you could go from 68 to 72 even with mods. I may learn something this thread.

Do they sell just the headlight extensions ?

I converted a 69-72 chev to gmc.
You can do the same with 67-8 too. Hard one to do is make any into is 67-8 chev from the others, the headlight bucket mount is molded into the core support, you have to cut that part out of another 67-8 chev to do it and then overlap or but weld it back in.

I started a new thread on this so we don't totally destroy Meangreen1's thread.
