Re: 67-68 grille insert..

GMC Pauls sells a clip set for it. It is about 8 items down the page listed as "67-68 Grille Molding Clip Set" for $39.95.

Re: 67-68 grille insert..

Sorry, I thought you were looking for the trim clips (LMC #6). LMC sells all of the grill parts and hardware including the bezel hardware set (#10).

It will be difficult to get your grille hoop to lay flat, unless you rivets...there is no space for a bolt head to fit between the slots of the grille hoop

Screws. Small ones. I bought phillips head screws just big enough to cover the hole with a washer and nut on the backside. Works great.

Go to Harbor Freight and get you a cheap rivet tool, You'll be glad you got it, comes in handy.
