Re: Hood Swap from 1971 to 1968

you'd have to swap out the rest of the whole front clip... fenders, grill, core support, and bumper if you don't want it ti look stupid.
That or a lot of efabman level work.

GMC are the same, Chevy are different.

Re: Hood Swap from 1971 to 1968

It is very easy, just unbolt your 71 hood and bolt on the 68 hood after you do this! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...highlight=hood

Re: Hood Swap from 1971 to 1968

yeah all 67-72 gmc fenders are the same and are interchangeable with chevy 67-68 fenders. with the exception that both chevy and gmc 67 fenders have no side markers, but they are the same overall shape
