Has anyone ever thought of taking the front part of a 67-72 from the wheel arch forward to the grill and working it on to a 88-98 silverado? i want to try this and just wondered if it had been done before.

[jpmanyhearts]

are you talkin about the front part of the wheel arch middle or back ?

from the front of the marker light forward ...im thinking of doing this myself but i just wanted to gather thoughts and to see if anyone has done this before?

I have heard of one or two people dropping a 5.3L in their 67-72 and the bench seat from a newer truck. (i think) Is that the same thing? LOL

Haha i mean like cutting from the front of the marker lights forward and welding and molding it on the front of a 88-98 truck

I understand. Just a noble attempt a humor. Normally folks try to bring 80-90s technology to the 67-72 and avoid emissions and whatnot. Never seen it go the other way. I'm sure it could be done. Might be painful trying to figure out how to make it line up and look right.

Try superimposing the grills on a photo of the newer truck with a graphic arts program and see how it would line up and how it would look. Make sure both photos are the same scale.

I don't think it would look good at all...but I'm not really one that believes in butchering cars
