    I just found a 3/4 ton 67 chevrolet 4x4 in decent shape for the price, but I have always been a fan of the 70-72 fronts, my question is this, I know that these vehicles fall under the same generation, but can you put a 70-72 front grille on the 67 body style or do you need a whole new front clip....and even then is it possible with current mounting points? (hood, fenders, lower valance, grille, anything i missed??).

    Please do me a favor, if it's possible let me know, if its not let me know, I could do without the side lecture of why it would be a waste to do it.

    Thanks in advance

    -Lee

    Hello.. I read your comments.. I just recently bought a 69 chevy.. and I want to go to the 67-68 front end because I like those better...

    I'm just the opposite from you I like the 67/68 front ends. So if you are still in need of a front clip I have a 71 complete clip. It has your normal rust in the front lower cup of the passenger side fender but overall would be a decent front end for a driver would include hood, hood hinges, fenders, inner fender, radiator support, hood latches. Basically I unbolted 10 bolts and pulled the entire front end off. And no I don't think it is a waste to do the swap because I'm doing one right now. Anyway if you interested I live in Suffolk Va. or if you just have questions email me jjache@amadas.com
