What's the difference?

[low&slow]

Okay so I know there is a difference between a 67/68 core support and a 69/70 and how the fenders from a 67/68 won't work on a 69/70 core, but what is the actual difference between the core supports?

Reason I ask is because I'm putting a 67 front clip on my 69 and I won't be using a core support. The radiator will stand alone and the clip will tilt forward. But before I get to that stage, I'd like to at least put the fenders and grille on as a mock up, but I can't do that w/out a 67/68 core support.

So basically what I'm asking is if there is a way I could somehow bolt the 67 fenders to the 69 core support if possible at all, even if it's just one bolt per fender? Mind you this would just be for a mock up for the actual design of the tilt so I can take measurements.

The difference is the 67-68 supports have mounting holes for a splash pan, and the 69-72 supports have headlight extensions on them. If you have the measurements from a 67-68 you can remove the extensions and modify the 69-72 to work.

Headlights are actually in different location also.

hood latches are different too

Alright. So I'll clarify a bit more (my bad on my part). The fenders and grille will be the only things bolted. Hood latch won't be put on and lights will not be put in. The hood also won't be put on. It's just a temporary mock up to see where the bottom front corners of the fenders sit at. The rotating rod for it all to tip forward will go through the frame rails and either bolt or well to the inner side of the bottom front corners.
