72 to a 68?
so my friend and i are starting a new build, going to be a driver with the best of the years.... so im trying to skip a few steps and wondering if a 71 or 72 grille bezel will fit on a 68 front clip? the reason why is that i would like to go with a phantom grille..... any ideas? thanks everyone

Re: 72 to a 68?
Fenders and hood are different along with the brackets and hood latch/support. best way to go about it would be a complete 69-72 clip.

Re: 72 to a 68?
The benefit of a 67 - 68 clip is the grille. They are unique and far better looking than the 69 - 72 Chevys in my opinion. I own a 71 and 67, just bought a 68 clip for the 71 for the next time she goes under the knife...
If you want a phantom grille you will need to use the 69 - 72 Chevy clip and grille surround. Good luck to ya, and kudos for thinking ahead on your build... wish I had

You could modify a 67/8 hood to fit 71/2 front clip....

Re: 72 to a 68?
thanks guys, after doing some research and taking your much appreciated info into account we have decided to stick to what we have.... i think its good for us to stick with what came factory but also to add that one off touch.... I think i have with my own 72. To be honest i have found so many differences between my 72 super cheyenne and this bare bones 68. any suggestions are always welcome. since this truck is a stepside i have been thinking of shaving the taillights.... and putting them into where the bedside rolls at the top.... i have figgured a way to make a custom lense that would be way sleek but im not sure if it would be visible enough?
