Core support ? please help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 67 with a core that is not in that great of shape and i have found a donor 69 with a very good core but i was wondering if they would interchange or not? They look the same except the head light bezels. It looks like the 69 headlights stick out farther than the 67 i was wondering if could just cut down the 69 to fit.

67 is different from a 69. I know that if you want to put a 67-68 front end on a later , you have to change core supports. I asked the same question in a thread awhile back, I'll see if I can find it.

If i read your post right all you have to change is the headlight mounting? Will the fenders bolt up correctly? Thanks for all the help

You'll also have to modify the mounts. The 67/68 frame mounts for the core support have different size holes than the 69-72 ones.
