Question cab question...

Going to do a 68 front clip, frame, swb but can I use a 72 cab and just bolt everything up just like I was using a 68 cab? This has always had me so confused because I look at them both and can not tell a difference besides the 72 came with brake booster and the 68 didnt.

Thank you.

Good question, I have a 72 SWB step and would like to put a 68 clip on as well.

Re: cab question...

Yes you can do it ... But if you use after market panels , it could be
a lot of work to make the new parts , hood - fenders line up ...
also you need to change the radiator core support (front grill )...
here is a pic of my 72 GMC with 68 clip ... also look at this thread
very interesting ...

Re: cab question...

The front clip is all original gm parts the only thing I'm using repop on is like nuts and bolts! The 68 cab is rotted like crazy but I also have a 72 that only needs minor work but I wasn't sure if original gm panels would all line up fairly well.

Thank you for the help rkintn!
