Bought a new pickup tonight
 

Saw this pickup listed on the local Facebook classified page today. It is a 71 with a 68 front clip. I plan on putting this box on my 72 3/4 ton, then I don't know what with the rest of the pickup.

Re: Bought a new pickup tonight
 

with these rims, it almost needs to be painted like the General Lee

I got two extra fenders, set of full wheel covers, new cab corners, and four new side marker lights with it too.

Paint the reliefs black in your wheels, like mine are, and put those on your 72 1/2 ton. I happened across a set of 10 fin Vector (thats what the General Lee had on it) 6 bolt wheels for my 69 Custom 10 years ago, finally got them put on recently. It will look close to the General Lee wheels, and make it look like a 70's era build. Just my opinion, but I'm sure you'll find a home for them.

If I wouldn't have ordered a set of American Racing Anse Slots last week for the 72 I would have put these on.

You may already know this, but just in case you don't, that driver's side fender is a 69-72 Chevy.
And hello, from a little bit east.

Thank you for the tip on the fenders. Can you tell me the difference on them? I knew I kinda have a jig saw puzzle of pickups here.

From the position of the headlights, The hood and grill are the only 67-68 items on the nose. The 69-72 fenders are pinched on front cause the aluminum grill on 69-72 covers that area.

Like panelman said. The leading edge on the fender is designed to "match up" to a 69-72 Chevy grille, whereas it's part of the 67/68 grille. You can really tell by the hood, the fenders stop flowing with the hood where it's crinkled for the 69/72 grille.

Here is the how to on converting the headlight buckets to the 67/68 style: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=399960
