Since you asked for personal preferences i'll state mine.
67 is without a doubt the best looking STOCK frontend. It has the more agresive aerodynamic hood and fenders and doesnt have the ugly sidemarkers that the 68 had. I think from there it went downhill each year until they finally made these trucks too ugly to drive in 73 ( for some reason they thought boxes on wheels would look better.... go figure). If you dont want to go through the trouble of replacing the fenders, hood and grill then i would go for the FULL PHANTOM grill made by Trenz and Carraige Works. That is the best bet on a 69-72 however be prepared to shell out about $350 and then you also have to worry about cops harrasing you about the hidden headlights. I was going to really go nuts with my project and hack up a 69-72 phantom and put it on my 67 but i wasnt confident enough in my metal working skills to take that risk so im going with a new design that will look similar to a 67/68 but will be custom. Thats my $.02.
