1967-68 Fender & Hood Trim - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know where I can get the hood and fender trim in the picture? I know some of the retailers sell similar trim but it looks narrower than the trim in the pic. Thanks

GMC Paul’s has it and is a vendor on here I’m pretty sure. You might contact him directly for measurements.

If you're a purist, the aluminum trim is a '68-only thing. '67s are spotted by their lack of trim. [And NO side marker reflectors.] Since the body styles are otherwise identical, and it's 51 or so years later, no one should really care.
I'm old. I remember the New Breed Truck Line, from when it really was new. [Quite a sensation -- trucks that weren't ugly. Ford and Dodge took years to catch up.]
While you could probably even get the trim pieces from LMC Truck, I have also dealt with GMC Paul's, and it's a good outfit. Fast shipping, No BS, and he knows these trucks.

Yep, it's '68 trim, not '67. I have never seen any reproduction fender trim made that wasn't an actual reproduction, meaning made to OEM specs to look like OEM. Not sure what trim you've been looking at. Any vendor who sells trim will offer what you need

I guess the next question is, is this a 68 fender? I got them as a set with the hood and grill. They were all factory paint and the same color.

Ruh roh. That’s a 69-72 chevy fender.

KMC3420 · 08-25-2019, 04:45 PM

Here is a reference for fender difference. Your grill is indeed 67-68, however as 68bowtie states your fender is 69-72 Chevy.

Yep...Kinda figured that was the case. Anyone need some OEM, no rust, no bondo, freshly painted, 69 fenders?

This may aid your quest for the proper fender -- GMCs did not change fender designs thru-out the 67-72 production run. So a 68-72 GMC fender = a 68-only Chevy fender.
