68 Chevrolet clip on my 72
 
I would like to put a 68 Chevrolet clip on my 72.

From looking at the parts catalog I think I need:
67-68 Hood
67-68 Raidatator support
68 Fenders (I want the marker lights)
67-68 Bumper
67-68 filler panel (Grill)
Am I missing anything?

Does anyone make a reproduction filler panel (Grill) for the 67-68?

No one makes the grill aftermarket wise. Only the original parts, and finding a nice one is somewhat difficult. Good Luck.

The hood latch is different, trim rings for lights, trim rings for grill, and there is a support between the grill and radiator surround you will need.

As far as a repo grill, I'm not aware of anyone making one.

I think that's about it...

Good luck and welcome to the board, Roger

the grille isn't reproduced yet as stated above.
Nice bare grilles tend to go for about $100 or so :D

I am doing the same to my 71. If you already have a nice bumper, you could use that and eliminate the turn signals from the grill. That would save you the cost of a new bumper.

I purchased the entire front clip with lights et all for a 68 that I am using on my 69. No rust with exception the front right fender inner area under the battery.

Cost 400, needs no body work.

I would look around if I were you.
Check all of the pick and pulls.

I say find a good donor truck, swap it all over then, sell off the rest of the parts truck. Best way to work on these trucks in my opion
