A stock '68 grill on a '69 longhorn????

[Longhorn Man]

Has anyone ever seen this kind of thing before? The only case that comes to mind is Fast's old dump truck, but it only had a few features from the previouse year...not everything.
This is a portion of an e-mail I got from a Longhorn owner the other day. I am waiting for him to share his V.I.N. with me. I suspect it to be a very early '69. Like within the first couple hundred.

'69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man
I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.
