I'm gonna move this to the 67-72 message board for you. You'll get a lot more traffic there. I'm pretty sure you'll have to swap the entire front clip to get the 67 grill. The hood and fenders are different.

BTW Welcome to the board from South MIssissippi!

Hoods,fenders,core supports are different between the 67-8 and the 69-72.
You need to swap the front clip

If you decide to do this you`ll easily find someone willing to swap you.I respect individual`s taste,but it`s a real popular trend lately to do the opposite.You could probably add getting free labor to the deal,if yours is in good shape.

I thought the 67-8 was the most popular, then 71-2? I never cared for 69-70, just my taste, and my fav is 67-68. I am putting a 72 grille on my 70, mainly cuz the 70 is all beat up, but also cuz I like the 72 look better. I do like the look of the 72 with the 67-8 hoods from another thread, also like the custom grilles, especially the one that has the small bars all the way across hiding the headlights. (Grill is on the deck, grille is on the truck LOL)

Don't forget the beautifull face of a 67 - 70 GMC.
The 67/68 chevy grill is REALLY groing on me, and if I ever get to do a burb or blazer like I have been thinking about, I think it'll get that nose.
