GMC Guys Help!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, here goes. I've had two different opinions and want a definite answer from the knowledgeable people here. Is there a difference in the radiator supports for a 67-68 GMC compared to a 72? The reason I ask is I have a 72 and wanting to put a 67 hood on it and a 67 grille. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: GMC Guys Help!!!!!!!!!!
Yep they are the same form 67-72 and gmc's used 68 fenders all the way through 72 so its a simple swap. Im doing the same to my panel, I bought a great 67 grill but am having trouble finding the part that bolts to the top of the girll that holds the hood bumpers and the latch bolts to.

Re: GMC Guys Help!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't the top bar of the grille be the same for a Chevy?
Also 1 difference in the older Rad supports is it has bolt and holes for the bottom gravel guard. I am changing my 70 Gmc to a 68, Need a Hood. Ron

Re: GMC Guys Help!!!!!!!!!!
They are virtually the same.The gravel guard holes can be drilled.The person that saidthey were different was going by Chevy information.The grilles are even interchangeable.

Re: GMC Guys Help!!!!!!!!!!
My 70 GMC has a 68 core support in it. Everything fits as it should.

Re: GMC Guys Help!!!!!!!!!!
The person telling you otherwise must be confuing this with Chevy info.

Re: GMC Guys Help!!!!!!!!!!
I think thats what it is, He is a guy that I have trusted in the past, but he also a parts dealer. I've spent a little money with him and I think he was just wanting a little more. Hopefully an honest mistake on his part. Also, it wasn't a vendor on here that I know of, at least I don't think he is. Wish me luck I'm on my way to take the GRE to try and move from a teacher to principal.
