If I remember correctly, it's a direct bolt up deal.

I have a '68 radiator/grill support panel on my '72 Blazer and it was a direct bolt on.

Hope my info helps !

Re: 72 front swap for a 68

Yeppers, if you have the whole clip it's a direct swap. The only thing you will need
IIRC is a set of 67/68 rad support bushing kit. (The kit that bolts it to your frame)
If you don't have everything then you'll need at the very least what's listed below,

67/68 Core Support
68 Fenders (L and R)
67/68 Hood (Std or Cowl)
67/68 Hood latch stuff
67/68 Gravel sheild (Opt)
67/68 Front Bumper
67/68 Bumper Brackets

Inner fenders are the same

I think that's all correct, if not someone will jump in, it will look like this
