Body mounting kit; 67-68 or 69-72?

I was just making up a parts list and ran into a hitch in my giddy-up.
I have a 72 2wd with a steel bed but I plan on using the front clip off a 67 c20.
There are (apparently) two different body mounting kits:
1) 67-68 steel bed kit
2) 69-72 steel bed kit

My assumption would be that I would need the 67-68 kit, since the only discernible difference between the years is the front clip (ignoring '67 marker lights and back window)

Which kit do I need?
What's the difference?

P.S.
I was using LMC website for parts reference.
67-68 Body mounting kit, Part Number: 30-1175
69-70 Body mounting kit, Part Numbe#: 30-0586
I don't know where I'll buy, I was just window shopping.

Thanks, Russ

The difference between the two that I'm aware of is just the core support bushings. The 67-68 core support uses different bushings. The cab is the same, and the bed has some thin rubber pads to stop metal on metal squeaks.

The difference is the hole on the support "ears" that the core support bolts to[it is a different size for 67&68] so to make it all install smoothly get the one for the 69-72 model years. Jim
