70 to 67 grill swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

alright guys. Help solve a dispute between a friend and me. He has a 70, and want to put the 67 grille on it. I say he has to swap the whole dog house, while he says it's merely a different grille shell. who's right and what all is involved?

whole front clip

'69 - '72 fender have an indention for the grill on the front. '68 - '69 fenders are smooth on the front. The the hood and radiator support is also different. The first pic below is a '69 - '72 fender and the second is a '67 fender.

this seems to be another topic of the week... i think it's been covered 3 or 4 times this week alone.

It's a sign, Andy! You need to put the Chevy front end back on your Longhorn!!!

stop thinking such dirty thoughts!

Yup let him do it his way and then he will realize that he needs two new fenders, core support and hood and he will come to the board lookin for those parts.

smashingchuck · 09-21-2007, 04:18 PM

I'll be the one searching for the parts, so this forum will obviously be my first resource. Where's the best place to get a repop front clip?

thanks for the replies.

**raggedjim** · 09-21-2007, 05:10 PM

Repop would be big $$$ and you would have to buy it a piece at a time, I'd look for an original in good shape, or even a parts truck, you could get a longbed pretty reasonable.

Good luck, Rg

Tri pro Automotive he is a board member on here he sell the complete front clip includes the fenders hood core support inner fenders and all hardware for i think like $1320 or so

He's in michigan, the wheel openings go all the way up to the hood up there on old trucks.

I say just keep the 70 front end on it and just slap on a 67 hood!
