'67 & '68 have the sloped hood. '68 & '69 have the same grill, but the '68 grill surround and fenders are different than '69 because of the sloped hood.

That's as much as I know and I may have that wrong
See if these LMC pages don't help you.

It looks like the core support is GMC only and changed from '68 to '69.

I guess I crapped out. Thanks for explaining this. I though I read that all GMC and 68 chevy would work. Oops. Back to the drawing board.
