GMC Grill differences?
first let me start off by saying Merry Christmas all!
i was wondering, if a '69 GMC grill, without the top chrome bar, will accept a '67-'68 hood. if i'm not mistaken, the bar was put there to make it possible for the front face of the '69-and up hoods to fit. any insite to this would be greatly appreciated, as it would assist me in the re-resurrection of my truck. thanks in advance all! -Sam.

Re: GMC Grill differences?
I have seen it done. The only thing I am not sure about is I think you will need to swap out the hood hatch for the one to match the 68 hood.

Re: GMC Grill differences?
The 67-68 Chevy Top bar should be the same as the 67-68 GMC top bar.
The 67-68 Chevy and GMC grilles look better than the later ones at least I like them better. Ron

Re: GMC Grill differences?
the 68 GMC gril is the same actual grill as a 69/70.

Re: GMC Grill differences?
But when you put the earlier top bar and the 67-68 hood it looks much better.
