Re: What should i do to this truck
Put a 67 hood on it. It already has the 67 style fenders on it, then just trim the grill to fit. Of coarse, it probably sounds easier than it really is.

Re: What should i do to this truck
Aren't 68 chevy fenders the same as later GMC fenders?

Re: What should i do to this truck
I don't know, but by the way the ends stick out beyond the end of the hood, I'd say maybe..
I just checked GMC Pauls site, He lists 68 Chevy fenders as also 68-72 GMCs, so Id say yes. So back to the original idea, put a 67\68 Chevy hood on it............... Last edited by Kokomoooo; 01-10-2011 at 12:48 AM. Reason: more info |

Re: What should i do to this truck
im a bigger fan of the 70/72 hoods i like the steeper front, how it makes the front look bigger.

Re: What should i do to this truck
so i measured for the axle flip today and it looks like it will lover the truck a total of 5.25-5.5 inches. I am thinking at 5 inches drop i will definetly need to notch the frame. or else their will only be 1" between the axle and frame, then add a bump stop and it will basically just touch all the time. ah well thats how it go's.

Re: What should i do to this truck
That would be a good place to start, IMO , the trim makes these trucks.
