I'd like to put a 67 grille and hood on a 70 Blazer, do I need to replace my 70 fenders and core support?
Thanks in advance.

Yes to the fenders, you can modify the core support by taking the headlight stands off if I remember correctly. Also new bumper and bottom splash pan if I remember.

You'll also need a 67/68 hood, as well as the hood latch support.

I guess I should have asked before spending time on these fenders...

Guess it's might have to stay 1970...

Thanks for the help!

Headlite mounts aren't that hard, just drilling spotwelds, then ya gotta make square holes for the headlite adjustment screws. Then ya just gotta fix the front of the fenders, where the indentation for the grille surround sits

i dont have experience personally doing it but the po had a 67 front end on mine when i got it. it looked like he had to mod the hood a bit as well. so that the front would be strait. i think the hood is an inch or two too long for the front end. could have just been jerry rigged though.
