Bringing back an old thread here....

I have long pondered doing this mod/hood swap to my '71 GMC and I have all the parts needed around here somewhere. I had originally imagined I would use a 68-70 GMC grille with the 67-68 hood, basically making it look like a '68 up front. But, the orange and white truck in the OP has a 71-72 GMC grille with the early hood. It sure looks different, and I kinda like it.

Anyone else have pics of 71-72 GMC's with the 67-68 hood?
