I would go with the eggcrate as well, I think it looks great on a 4X4, but I do like the 68 as well...! Mudder's truck is awesome!

Do something 69-72. That truck being 4x4 and what not, I should hope that you take it out in some heavy stuff. And I'd hate to see a good lookin' 68 grille get messed up.

Don't let the 35s and 6" lift fool you!I doubt the truck ever meets the mud

Its the ground up restoration,and the other 4x4 is the mudder.

Who said anything about a brushguard?Its getting a stock chrome bumper,as soon as the truck gets painted in a few months to finish off the ground up restoration

Well, even though I'm converting a 69 to a 68... I voted keep the 71-72 look because I think the more "truck like" 69-72 clips look the best on 4x4's. As others have said 67-68 look best on 2wd. They all look good lifted and lowered, but that's the way I lean...
